- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

- Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla to the mashed bananas. Whisk until fully combined.

- Stir in the chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- If your bananas aren’t ripe enough, place them in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes to soften.
- Measure flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling off to prevent dryness.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
- Want a different twist? Try adding cinnamon, walnuts, or using dark chocolate chips.
