One of my favorite hobbies is singing vs One of my favorite hobbies are singing

The correct phrase is 'one of my favorite hobbies is singing.' In this case, 'one' is the subject of the sentence, so the verb 'is' should agree with it. 'Hobbies' is the object of the preposition 'of' and does not affect the verb form.
