Ingredients
  

  • 3 very ripe bananas mashed

  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  11. Allow the bread to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

Storage: Store cooled banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for several days or refrigerate for longer storage.
