Make it:

This is a typical quick bread recipe and mixes up very quickly. 

  • Heat oven to 350F

  • Mash bananas and mix in wet ingredients

    • melted butter

    • brown sugar (yes, technically it's not a wet ingredient but does get added here)

    • egg

    • vanilla

  • In a separate bowl, mix together sifted dry ingredients - everything left except the chocolate chips

  • Stir dry into wet (don't overmix!) then stir in chocolate chips

  • Pour into a buttered & floured loaf pan

  • Enjoy!
