Decadent Banana Chocolate Chip Snack Bread

Ingredients

- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the batter.

2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, and brown sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.

4. Incorporate the Egg and Vanilla: Crack the egg into the wet mixture and add in the vanilla extract. Continue whisking until fully combined.

5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.

6. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined and a batter forms, being careful not to overstir.

7. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly through the batter using a spatula or wooden spoon.

8. Transfer to Baking Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.

9. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

10. Cool: After baking, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
