Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment.
  2. In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir the mashed bananas into the wet mix until even.
  5. Pour the dry mix into the wet mix. Add chocolate chips.
  6. Fold the mix just until the flour disappears. Do not stir more than needed.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake in the center of the oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Test with a skewer; a few moist crumbs are acceptable.
  3. If the top browns too quickly, lay foil over the pan loosely and finish baking.
  4. Let the bread cool in the pan until warm or at room temperature before slicing and serving.

Notes

Store the bread at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with butter, cream cheese, or honey.
