    How to make chocolate chip banana bread 

    Preheat the oven:

    First, Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Then grease and line the bottom and sides of a loaf pan with parchment paper.

    Mix dry ingredients:

    Combine the sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl, and set aside.

    Mix wet ingredients:

    Then, add the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to a smaller bowl. Whisk to combine all the ingredients.

    Combine everything:

    Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently combine everything. Add the chocolate chips and gently combine.

    Bake:

    Pour the batter into the loaf pan and add more chocolate chips on top. Bake for about 40 minutes. At the 40-minute mark, cover the pan with foil paper to prevent burning, and bake for more 15 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.

    Tips to make the best chocolate chip banana bread

    The riper the banana, the better: Ripe bananas are the secret to delicious and moist chocolate chip banana bread. It is when the bananas are overripe that they have their sweetest flavor!

    Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can lead to dense and unpleasantly chewy baked cakes.

    Don't overbake: If you leave the banana bread too much time in the oven, it will dry out, so keep an eye on it and remove it from the oven when it's golden brown on the top but slightly moist and sticky in the middle.

    Make a toothpick test: This tip works for every cake recipe you make! When you need clarification about being already baked in the middle. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean with no streaks of batter, it's ready.
