Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

We wanted to bake something Easter themed but Sweet Craft was closed! So we decided to just make something with what we have. Lo and behold, chocolate chip banana bread!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, makes one loaf

3 or 4 ripe bananas (smashed)

1/3 cup melted butter 

1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)

1 egg (beaten)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

inch of salt

1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 175 °C.  Mash the bananas then add the melted butter. Set aside. Mix eggs, sugar, vanilla, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Combine the mashed bananas and the egg mixture. Add the flour then mix. Add the chocolate chips. Line the loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter on the loaf pan. Bake for an hour. Place on a wire rack, slice and serve.

As the bread gets older, it gets yummier! Enjoy!
