Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:

Heat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan and set aside.

In a small bowl, mash the bananas and set them aside.

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to cream together the butter and sugars for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.

Combine Wet Ingredients:

Add the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix well.

Add Dry Ingredients:

Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined. Incorporate 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips into the batter.

Bake:

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the bread is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:

Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before serving.
