Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
