Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 c all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 c unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 c sugar
  • 2 very ripe bananas peeled and mashed
  • 1 c chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a small measuring cup with a spout, whisk eggs and vanilla together.
  • Grease and flour a 9x5x3 inch bread loaf pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using an electric hand mixer (or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment) cream butter and sugar together till light and fluffy. Slowly add the egg and vanilla mixture, mixing till combined. To save on dishes, use the same measuring cup to mash the two bananas with a fork. Add the bananas to your mixture, combine well. At this point the mixture will look a bit lumpy and curdled - that's okay!
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and pour batter into floured pan.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the bread for 5-10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Let cool completely (if you can resist) and then wrap bread tightly in plastic wrap to store (this is VERY important to keep the banana bread moist and delicious.)
