Super Easy - But Delicious - Banana Bread

Today I am bringing you one of the easiest recipes out there!  My cousin would send this to Ryan constantly while he was in Afghanistan and it is one of his favorites.  I asked her for her recipe and found out that it is so simple.  I have now made Ryan 3 batches in the past week. :)

No need for a mixer or a bread maker today!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Ingredients:
2-3 very ripe bananas
1/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 beaten egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F, and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Use a wooden spoon to stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.

Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes at 350°F, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack. Remove the banana bread from the pan. Slice and serve.

ENJOY!
