Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Butter and flour a bread loaf pan (9.25"L x 5.25"W x 2.75"D)
- In a mixing bowl using paddle attachment, cream together ½ cup softened butter and ⅔ cup sugar. Add 2 lightly beaten eggs.
- Mash bananas with a fork until consistency of chunky applesauce and add them to the mixing bowl along with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until blended.

Notes
To Store Chocolate Chip Banana Bread: Room Temperature - cover and store for up to 2 days; Refrigeration - I don't advise refrigerating since it can dry out the bread but you can refrigerate 3-5 days; Freeze - wrap in foil and freeze up to 3 months then thaw at room temperature for 3 hours.
