Ingredients

Main Ingredients

3 whole ripe bananas (mashed)
1/3 cup melted butter (unsalted)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (or reduce to 1/3 cup for less sweetness)
1 whole large egg (beaten)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Instructions

Steps to Make

1
PreparationPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
Ensure the oven is properly heated before placing the loaf pan inside.
2
Mix IngredientsIn a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they form a smooth paste. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
Make sure the bananas are thoroughly mashed for a smooth mixture.
3
Combine Dry IngredientsAdd sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla to the banana mixture and mix. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir in. Add the flour last and mix until just incorporated. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a tender crumb.
4
Bake BreadPour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the bread 5 minutes before the end of baking time to prevent overcooking.
5
Cool and ServeRemove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Allow bread to cool fully for easy slicing and to maintain its structure.
