Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas The riper, the sweeter!
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg Can be substituted for flaxseed meal for a vegan version.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute half with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Dark chocolate chips can be used for a richer flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  4. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  5. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  6. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir it in.
  7. Add the flour and mix until just combined.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Baking
  1. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store the bread at room temperature wrapped in plastic for 3-4 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Don't skip letting it cool completely to avoid a crumbly texture when slicing.
