Instructions

• Preheat oven to 175°c/340°F/Gas Mark 4. Prepare your baking tin with greaseproof paper. I like to wrap paper over the edges of the tin as it makes it easy to lift the bread out when cooled.
• Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
• In a separate bowl mash the bananas.

• In a separate bowl mix together melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
• Then add mashed bananas to the wet mixture.

• Add the wet mix to the dry mix and stir until fully combined. Add chocolate chips to the batter keeping a small handful aside and mix well.

• Transfer mixture to loaf tin and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top of your mixture.
• Place the tin in the oven for approximately 60 minutes. Do not open the oven until this time as you don't want the heat to be lost from the oven.
• Check your bread with a skewer and when it comes out almost clean it's ready to be moved to the cooling rack. Leave the bread in the tin until fully cooled.
