Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed The riper the bananas, the better!
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar (white or brown)
  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Add more if desired

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 4×8-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until combined.
  3. Add the baking soda and salt to the banana mixture, then mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the flour until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are fine!).
  2. Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
