Delicious Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or butter.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. You should have about 1 cup of mashed banana.

Stir in the melted butter into the mashed bananas.

Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution through the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
