•   1 cup brown sugar
•   3 bananas (overripe and mashed)
•   1 egg
•   2-4 tbsp milk (add if the batter is too thick)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and adjust the rack to the center position. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Brown the butter: In a medium saucepan, melt ½ cup unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan occasionally. The butter will foam, then turn golden brown and develop a nutty aroma (about 5-8 minutes). Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl to cool.
3. Mash the bananas: In a large bowl, mash 3 overripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
4. Combine wet ingredients: To the mashed bananas, add the cooled brown butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
5. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
6. Combine wet and dry: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a rubber spatula until just combined. (If the batter is too thick, add 2-4 tablespoons of milk to thin it out. Do not overmix.)
7. Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
8. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Top with additional chocolate chips if desired. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil halfway through.
9. Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
