Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 medium ripe bananas about 1½ cups
  • ⅓ cup butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips plus extra for the top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉, and grease a 10x5 loaf pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, and beat well
  • Add the bananas, and mash until most lumps are gone
  • Add the melted butter, milk and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined
  • Gently whisk in the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon and sea salt until just combined. Do not over mix
  • Stir in the chocolate chips
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, and top with extra chocolate chips, if desired
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean ( a few crumbs are fine), and bread is deeply golden brown. Cover bread with foil halfway through baking (if needed) to prevent bread from getting too dark
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and remove from loaf pan to finish cooling on a wire rack or platter

Notes

Do NOT over mix batter. Finish whisking once ingredients are just combined.
To prevent bread from browning too quickly, cover with foil halfway through baking. 
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. A paper towel under the bread will absorb moisture. 
You can sub oil for butter or use half oil and half butter.
