Ingredients

2 cups mashed ripe bananas about 3 to 4 bananas
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
⅔ cups vegetable oil
2 large eggs room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ cup chocolate chips plus a bit more to sprinkle on top

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan (or line it with parchment paper).
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt over the banana mixture. Toss the chocolate chips in.
Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Do not stir too much or you will overwork the gluten.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool for 20 minutes then remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If you line the bread pan with parchment paper it will be much easier to remove the banana bread. It will also prevent the bread from sticking to the pan much better than just using non-stick spray.

Let the banana bread cool for 20 minutes before you remove it from the pan.
