~ Chocolate Chip Banana Bread ~

I found this recipe online YEARS ago, and Today I wanted to make it again, but with chocolate chips...Its love at first bite. SO MOIST, and perfect! It may not be the healthiest recipe in the book, but its definitely healthier than buying it at the grocery store. :)

Ingredients:

• 3 or 4 ripe banana's smashed
• 1/3 cup of melted butter
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
• 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

 Directions: 

No need for mixer. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F. 
1.) With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. 
2.) Next, Mix in the Sugar, egg, and vanilla. 
3.) Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix it in. 
4.) Add the flour next and mix. 
5.) Fold in the chocolate chips last. 
6.) Pour the mixture into a buttered 4x8 pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a knife comes out almost clean (this is a very moist bread so when your knife comes out it shouldn't have any batter on it, but it wont be 100 percent clean either, check in the middle of the bread).

NOTES: I used a mixer because I wanted it to be perfect and evenly distributed, then I just folded the chocolate chips in last. If it browns too much on top you can put foil on top which will keep it from getting overly browned on top, this will depend on your oven. ENJOY! :)
