Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 4 medium, very ripe bananas
• 1 egg
• 1/2-3/4 cup sugar ( (I added 3/4 cup and found it a little sweet, so feel free to go down to 1/2 cup))
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (or 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup regular flour)
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 180 C. (350 F). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan, and line with parchment paper for easier removal.

2. 2

   Mash bananas well, either by hand or by using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer. Add egg, sugar, vanilla, and oil and mix well until combined.

3. 3

   Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined and no flour streaks remain.

4. 4

   Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, don't overmix. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly before slicing.
