Instructions

Preheat. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x4 loaf pan. Set aside.
Mash bananas. Add the bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash until mostly smooth.
Add wet ingredients. Stir in the vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add leavening. Mix in the baking soda and salt.
Add dry ingredients. Stir in the flour just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in chocolate. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing so the chocolate can set.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Chocolate chips. Use regular, mini, or jumbo chocolate chips based on preference.
Flavor boost. Melted butter can be used in place of oil for a richer flavor. Increase sugar slightly if desired.
Storage. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 5 days.
