Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces overripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the overripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir in the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mixing
  1. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
  3. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
