Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup butter (1 stick, softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 bananas (ripe)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅔ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • Cream butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. 
  • Add 2 eggs and cream together again for 1-2 more minutes. 
  • Add the vanilla and ripe bananas, whole, to the bowl. Mix until combined and the bananas are mixed in. 
  • Add the dry ingredients, less 2 tablespoons, to the bowl and mix until just combined - do not overmix. 
  • Toss the chocolate chips with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter. 
  • Pour into a greased loaf pan (see note) and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs on it. 

Notes

I use a standard size loaf pan - 9 in x 5 in. If you have 2 smaller pans, that is also fine. Just adjust the baking time by about 15 minutes.
