Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick baking spray or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave in short bursts until fully melted.
Step 4
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
Step 5
Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
Step 7
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain and the batter is combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 9
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 11
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Step 12
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
