- Spray a 9” x 5” pan with non-stick spray and pour the batter in the pa. Top with remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 1 hour-1 hour 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The last 20 minutes I recommend adding foil over the banana bread to keep the top from drying out.

Notes
- For maximum sweetness be sure to use ripe bananas.
- If you prefer to make 12 muffins instead of one loaf you can add the batter into a muffin tin and then bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
