- 5 ripe bananas
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar (reduce up to 1 cup if you would prefer less sweet bread)
- ¾ cup melted butter (measured after melting)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two loaf pans with softened butter.
Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl with a potato masher or the back of a fork until smooth.
Stir in the melted butter, flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Stir until completely combined and no fleck of flour remain. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly into the loaf pans. Bake for about 1 hour, checking after 45 minutes with a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. If the outside is browning too quickly, turn the heat down to 275 for a while to complete cooking the middle of the breads, turning back up for the last few minutes if needed.
Allow to cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove the loaves to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or allow to cool completely, then wrap tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
