The best Chocolate Banana Bread...EVER

The other day I went to the supermarket and they had the bananas on sale, buy one get one free.  I asked myself, what am I going to do with so many bananas??? What else...a chocolate banana bread.

I've tried this recipe with, both, white chocolate chips and chocolate chips.  I have to say I like both versions of the recipe.


Ingredients
2 cups of plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 stick butter (4 oz)
1 cup caster sugar
4 ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips (you can also use white chocolate chips)
Instructions
  
Preheat the oven to 355 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
♥ Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
♥ In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, butter, bananas, eggs and vanilla.  Once combined, add the dry ingredients and mix.  Don't over mix.
♥ Add the chocolate chips.
♥ Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for an hour or until the bread is tested with a butter knife.
♥ Leave to cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then turn onto a wire rack to cool.
