Mom’s Best Banana Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl using a mixer, cream the oil, sugar and eggs until thoroughly combined and fluffy.
2. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder.
3. In three additions, add the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing as you go but being careful not to over-mix.
4. Add the milk, vanilla, and bananas and combine until just mixed. (I like to mash my bananas separately before adding them into the batter. If you prefer to see banana chunks in your bread, then simply add the bananas directly.)
5. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into a greased standard size loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350 F.

My mom has been making this banana bread for as long as I can remember. It’s a family classic and I’ve never met a person who doesn’t absolutely love it!
