Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or butter and line it with parchment paper. Allow some of the parchment paper to overhang the sides of the loaf pan.
In a large bowl add the peeled bananas and mash well.
Add the sugar and butter to the bananas. Mix well.
Add the eggs and vanilla to the bowl and mix again.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix until just combined. Do not overmix, it's ok it there are a few lumps left.
Mix in the chocolate chips and mix again until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add the batter to the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with a few more chocolate chips.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50 minutes. After 50 minutes, check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the banana bread. If there is no batter left on the toothpick, the bread is done.

When checking for doneness, there will still be chocolate on the toothpick. The bread is done when there is no batter left of the toothpick, a little chocolate is ok.
Instead of chocolate, add raisins or walnuts for a healthier banana bread.
Allow the bread to cool completely before cutting. If it is too warm when it is cut, the bread will fall apart.
If the top of the bread is browning too fast, cover the bread with a sheet of aluminum foil.
