This chocolate chip banana bread comes together quickly with simple ingredients. The key to success is using very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness. Follow these steps for a perfectly moist loaf every time.

For variations, try adding 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg for extra warmth, or substitute dark chocolate chips for a less sweet version. For a dairy-free option, replace butter with coconut oil in equal amounts.
