Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  2. Mash 4 peeled ripe bananas in a large bowl, then beat in 1/3 cup coconut oil and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth.

  3. Incorporate 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the banana mixture.

  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet banana mixture, mixing just until combined without overmixing.

  6. Stir in 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips if desired.

  7. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

  8. Bake for approximately 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then remove and cool completely on the rack before slicing.
