Ingredients
- 4 overripe bananas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5 metal loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer until fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add in room temperature eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture and gently fold until just combined. Fold in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
