Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Notes
- Overripe bananas work best for a naturally sweeter and more moist bread.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor or milk chocolate for extra sweetness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
