Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.

Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter.

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

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

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
