Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, then set aside.
  3. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl until mostly smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the mashed bananas, folding gently.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
