Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces ripe bananas The riper, the better!
  • 1/3 cup oil You can substitute with melted butter.
  • 1 cup sugar Optional; reduce for less sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For added flavor.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Feel free to add more if you like!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Mix in the oil and sugar (if using), followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. Add baking soda and salt, and mix everything well.
  5. Stir in the flour until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.
  7. Smooth the top and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Let it cool a bit before slicing to avoid burning your tongue on the gooey chocolate! Banana bread stays fresh at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. Can be frozen for up to three months.
