Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

5. Mix in the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
10. Allow the chocolate banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
11. Serve and enjoy!
