Ingredients

  • 3 large over ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 cup mini milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Next, prepare a loaf pan by lining the sides with parchment paper. Alternatively, if using a loaf pan with a design, like the one in the photos, generously coat the inside of the loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and dust with flour. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a spatula to mix together all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips.
  • Once a batter has formed, add the chocolate chips and fold into the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap the filled loaf pan 3 or 4 times on the counter top to remove air bubbles and to ensure the thick batter has settled into the loaf pan's corners.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, the loaf is done, if not, place the loaf back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing.

Notes

Loaf makes 10 thick slices.
