Instructions
Prepare Your Pan and Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray. You can also line the pan with parchment paper leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. This step ensures the bread does not stick and comes out cleanly every time.
Mash Bananas and Mix Wet Ingredients
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly in a large mixing bowl using a fork until nearly smooth with just a few small lumps remaining. Add the melted butter, sugar, and eggs to the mashed bananas and stir everything together until well combined and uniform.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture using a spatula and stir only until just combined. Do not overmix the batter as this will make the bread tough and dense.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Reserve about 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips for topping the loaf then fold the remaining chips into the batter with a gentle hand. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with the spatula. Scatter the reserved chocolate chips across the top of the batter.
Bake and Cool
Bake the loaf for 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with no wet batter clinging to it. If the top is browning too quickly cover it loosely with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
