Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or swap half for whole wheat for more fiber.); 1 teaspoon baking soda (lifts the loaf for a tender crumb.); 1/2 teaspoon fine salt (balances the sweetness.); 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, warm spice that plays beautifully with banana.); 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (can use coconut oil for a dairy-free version.); 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed (gives deep caramel notes; reduce to 1/2 cup for less sweetness.); 2 large eggs (at room temperature; substitute with flax eggs for vegan baking.); 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups) (the riper, the better for banana flavor.); 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (brightens the loaf.); 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (swap for dark chocolate for more intensity, or use chopped nuts for extra crunch.)
