• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stove, and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well.

Step 5

Stir in the granulated sugar, mixing until fully combined.

Step 6

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 8

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring just until the flour disappears.

Step 9

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 10

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
