Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

There are numerous examples of my craziness and the impending severity of it, but number 876 is my inability to throw away over-ripe bananas without promising no one except myself, that I will not let that beautiful fruit go to waste and will immediately bake a lovely bread or muffin.

The really crazy thing is that I don’t even like bananas.

But here’s a bread that I will even eat, packed with all sorts of wholesome goodness.

Banana-Chocolate-Chip Bread

3-4 over ripe bananas
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup chocolate chips

1.) Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2.) Mash bananas with a fork until smooth-ish. (Leaving some lumps is ok.)

3.) In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.

4.) Into the mashed bananas, whisk in sugars, milk, egg, and vanilla.

5.) Gently fold in flour mixture just to combine, add chocolate chips and pour into the loaf pan.

6.) Bake for 55-65 minutes until a knife blade comes out clean. (Crazy people use knives, not toothpicks.)
