Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar 
• 2-3 eggs, room temperature
• 3 medium/large bananas (very ripe)
• 1 tbsp Amoretti® Vanilla Bean Paste

• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy 
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir them into the butter and sugar mixture.
4. Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda into the same bowl until just combined.
5. Fold in the mashed bananas and mini chocolate chips until just combined.
