Step-by-Step Instructions for One-Bowl Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth. Add melted butter and mix until well combined.
  3. Add granulated sugar, salt, and egg into the banana-butter mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and stir. Then, add the all-purpose flour and mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
