Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 900g loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.
step 2
Beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric whisk until light and fluffy.
step 3
Combine the egg and vanilla extract and pour this in, a little at at time, mixing between each addition.
step 4
Fold in the flour, a pinch of salt, the baking powder, mashed banana and all but a handful of the chocolate chips.
step 5
Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin and scatter over the rest of the chocolate chips.
step 6
Bake for about 50 mins, or until puffed up and cooked through – a skewer inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Slice before serving. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
