My kids usually convince me to throw chocolate chips into the banana bread (I actually found some that are both dairy-free and sugar-free, but man are they expensive), but nuts or blueberries are also really yummy alternatives...or just plain banana bread with no add-ins is often what I'm in the mood for. So, because the pictures have chocolate chips, I'll reference them as I go, but keep in mind that there are lots of other things (healthier things) you can sub with if you'd like.
So first off, preheat your oven to 350º F.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk together until well combined.
Pour batter into a greased and floured loaf pan, or better yet line the pan with parchment paper or use silicone bakeware.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven. Wait 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes.
Let cool, or cut and serve warm!
Enjoy!
