– 2 eggs
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
– ½ tsp salt
– 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While waiting, you can grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Combine your flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together your mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add your dry ingredients to your banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
5. Fold in your chocolate chips gently. This adds a surprisingly pleasant and indulgent crunch to your bread.
6. Pour your batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let your bread cool completely before removing it from the loaf pan. This makes it much easier to slice and serve!
