Category: desserts

1 1/2 cups flour, all purpose
1 cup of ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup of chocolate chips, semisweet
2 large sized eggs
1/2 cup of unsalted butter
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a medium sized bowl in order to blend them. Put the chocolate chips in another bowl and add one tablespoon of the flour mixture and toss it about in order to coat the chocolate. In a large bow, beat the butter until it becomes fluffy. Add the sugar in gradually while still beating until it is well blended. Blend the eggs in one at a time. Then, blend in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and the mashed bananas. Blend in the flour mixture, and then spoon in 1/3 of the batter into the baking pan, and sprinkle in half of the chocolate chips. Then spoon in another 1/3 of the batter and sprinkle in the rest of the chocolate chips. Then put in the rest of the batter and run a knife through the batter in a zigzag pattern. Then put it in the oven and bake for about an hour.
