For an extra nutty flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter along with the chocolate chips. If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour. To prevent the top of the bread from browning too quickly, tent it with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. This bread freezes beautifully. Cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and then place in a freezer bag. It will keep for up to 3 months.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a standard loaf pan thoroughly. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is even lighter in color and texture (about 2 minutes). Gently mash the ripe bananas with a fork and add them to the bowl, mixing until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine! (7 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. (5 minutes)
04
StepPour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. (1 minute)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (60 minutes)
06
StepRemove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm for the best experience. (5 minutes)
