Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 325°F if your oven runs hot). Make sure you have a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan ready.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork until smooth and creamy, leaving some small lumps.
  3. Pour in melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture, then add the flour. Mix carefully until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
  6. Pour batter into your greased loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
  7. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, slice and enjoy your delicious banana bread.
