Moist Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

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

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or a potato masher until smooth.

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in the chocolate chips gently into the batter until evenly distributed.

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

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
