Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 3 ripe bananas The riper, the better; they add natural sweetness and moisture.

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda A key leavening agent for that perfect rise.
  • a pinch salt Balances the sweetness and enriches the overall flavor.

  • 1 large egg Helps bind the ingredients together for a fluffy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a warm, aromatic depth to the batter.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, then stir in the melted butter.
  • Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir well to combine.
  • Add the granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
  • Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, ensuring it fills about two-thirds of the pan.
  • Bake for 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
