Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly with butter or lining it with parchment paper.

Mash 3-4 ripe bananas thoroughly in a large mixing bowl.

Mix in 1/3 cup of melted butter, followed by 3/4 cup of sugar and 1 large egg. Combine well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.

Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips gently into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-65 minutes.

Once baked, cool in the pan for about 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
