Preheat and Prepare:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Mash the Bananas:

• Peel and place 3 medium, very ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl.
• Mash them with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.

Mix Wet Ingredients:

• Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.
• Whisk until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar.
• Stir the dry ingredients until evenly mixed.

Combine Mixtures:

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated.
• Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.

Fold in Chocolate Chips:

• Gently fold 1 cup chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring even distribution without deflating the mixture.

Bake:

• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
• Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
