Scale

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.

- Gently fold in the flour until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg.
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
