Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Step 1 Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2 Cream butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Add mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  3. Step 3 Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
