Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas (1 cup mashed)
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or mini chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Generously spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray, and lightly sprinkle granulated sugar in the pan for added sweetness. You can also line the pan with parchment paper to make removing the bread easier if you prefer.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar using a handheld electric mixer.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until just barely incorporated.
- Remove the banana peels and mash bananas in a medium-sized bowl using the back of a fork.
- Add mashed bananas and buttermilk to the bowl of ingredients and mix until incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Be careful not to over mix the batter. Just mix until you no longer see white flour.
- Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
- Pour into the prepared pan, and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top of the batter.
- Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool before removing from the pan and slicing!

Notes
- The batter can be used to make muffins perfectly! Follow the directions and bake muffins for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
