Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, mash 3 medium ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until all ingredients are combined and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt over the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients in with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Step 5: Fold 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Step 8: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
