Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk to blend, then add in the mashed bananas and mix until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure the bread stays tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan until slightly warm or at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use overripe bananas for the best flavor.
Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
