Ingredients

Dry ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Wet ingredients

1 ¼ cups mashed banana 2 very large
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup sour cream or yogurt
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup semi sweet chocolate chips plus more for top

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and spray the bottom and sides of a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with non stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter.
Whisk all dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
Into another larger bowl, add all wet ingredients (except chocolate chips) and whisk until very smooth.
Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips and stir until combined.
Transfer batter into the prepared pan, smooth top, and sprinkle chopped some more chocolate chips on top, if desired.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes clean. Place pan on a wire rack and cool completely.

Notes

Banana – Use over ripe bananas (dark yellow skin with lots of brown spots).

Vegetable oil – Use a flavorless oil like vegetable or corn oil.
