Ingredients

Scale

3 ripe bananas (mashed)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth with some lumps remaining.
Mix in melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture while stirring gently.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool for about ten minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
