First off, let’s talk about why this recipe is a total win. Not only does it combine the comforting flavors of bananas and chocolate (need I say more?), but it’s also incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re juggling work, kids, or just your own chaotic life, you can whip up this delightful treat without breaking a sweat. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to use up those pesky bananas that have reached their full ripeness and are demanding attention!

Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup sugar (you can use less if you prefer a less sweet bread)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (don’t skimp on these!)

Steps to Sweet Success

Alright, let’s dive into making this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. Grab your mixing bowl, let’s channel our inner bakers!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Greasing a 4×8-inch loaf pan is also a smart move!
2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. You want them to be as mushy as your mornings with one too many coffee refills!
3. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Yes, melted butter—this is not the time for calorie counting!
4. Add in the baking soda and salt. Mix well, like your favorite workout playlist!
5. Next, stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. This is where the magic starts to happen.
6. Finally, mix in the flour until just incorporated. When you add the chocolate chips, make sure to be generous! Because chocolate makes everything better.
7. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If your home doesn’t smell amazing yet, just wait!
8. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can resist). Slice, serve, and enjoy!
