2 cups of flour, this can be bread flour or all-purpose flour.
1 cup of white sugar.
1 teaspoon of baking soda.
1 teaspoon of baking powder.
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
1/2 cup of oil vegetable oil will work but corn oil or canola oil are both very neutral tasting. Olive oil is a wonderful, healthier choice too.
1.5 cups or 3 ripe bananas.
2 large eggs.
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
1 cup chocolate chips optional

Begin by setting the oven to 325 degrees F and generously greasing a loaf pan that is approximately 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches in size. If you prefer, line your loaf pan with parchment paper instead.
In a large bowl, begin by mixing the flour, white sugar, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt together.
In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 large eggs until they are slightly frothy and combined.
Using a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas.
Add the oil and eggs to the mashed bananas mixture along with the vanilla extract.
Once all ingredients are mixed together well, slowly incorporate dry ingredients into the wet ingredients batter; be sure to only mix until just combined.
Finally, fold in the chocolate chips (if desired) and pour the mixture into buttered or parchment-lined loaf pans.
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the bread pan and place it on a wire rack to cool.

Measure out exactly 1 ¼ cups of ripe bananas when you are making this recipe. This will ensure that your bread doesn’t come out too dry or too wet once it is baked.

For best results, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots to ensure a moist, flavorful loaf.

Try adding chopped nuts to make banana nut bread or add different types of chocolate chips to the top of the bread to give it a unique twist or texture to the bread.

Using real chocolate chips and ripe bananas, this sweet treat can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as an anytime snack.

Add sour cream or greek yogurt to your batter to produce an extra moist homemade banana bread.

DO NOT OVERMIX! To keep your banana bread soft and moist, don't overmix your batter. Mix the dry ingredients gently into the wet just until everything is combined.
