Method
- Preheat your oven to 350˚F. Butter and flour a bread loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl using the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter and sugar.
- Add the lightly beaten eggs to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until combined.
- Mash the bananas with a fork until they resemble chunky applesauce. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl. Mix until blended.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix until they are just incorporated.
- Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared bread pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate over the top. Bake at 350˚F for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
To store the bread at room temperature, cover it and keep it for up to 2 days. Refrigeration is not recommended as it can dry out the bread, but it can be stored for 3 to 5 days if necessary. For long-term storage, wrap the loaf tightly in foil and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for 3 hours before serving.
