- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 medium to large bananas

Baking instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch by 5-inch baking pan.
- Mash the bananas, vanilla extract, brown sugar and ground cinnamon together in a large bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in the eggs until fully mixed.
- Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into the wet ingredients. Stir until combined.
- Pour the mashed banana mixture into the wet mixture and mix until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the bread for 30 minutes, then lower the temperature to 325 and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Your cake tester should come out clean with a few crumbs attached. Let cool for 10 minutes.
