Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth, then whisk in the oil, honey, egg, and vanilla until fully combined.
Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir the leaveners into the flour to avoid clumps of them throughout the batter. Then, use a rubber spatula to fold all of the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined.
Lastly, fold in the chocolate.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool for a few minutes in the pan, then remove to cool completely on a wire rack.
Top with flaky sea salt and enjoy!
Notes
You can use any neutral oil, such as canola, vegetable, or light-tasting extra virgin olive oil.
