How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Loaf

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
5. Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add the mashed bananas to the creamed butter mixture.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in 1 ½ cups chocolate chips.
8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
9. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
