Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium banana
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter -melted
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips or use finely chopped chocolate, or mini chocolate chips
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease a 10-ounce ramekin.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Add the sugar and beat with a whisk or mixer until well combined.
  • Mix in the melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin. Place the ramekin on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a Ripe Banana: Choose a banana with brown spots for the sweetest flavor and easy mashing.
  • Measure Flour Correctly: Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it off. Don’t pack it down.
  • Grease the Ramekin: Coat well so the bread releases easily after baking.
  • Check for Doneness: Bake 25–30 minutes, but ovens vary. Insert a toothpick into the center - if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready.
 
If doubling this recipe use either two 10-ounce ramekins or one 5x5-inch baking dish.
