## Ingredients

- 4 large ripe bananas
- 125g unsalted butter
- 150g light brown sugar
- 250g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 medium eggs
- 75g soured cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150g chocolate chips

## Method

1. **Heat the oven.** Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan and line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper.
2. **Mash the bananas.** Mash the bananas until they reach a soft, mushy consistency.
3. **Cream the butter and sugar.** In a separate bowl, combine butter and sugar, beating until smooth and light.
4. **Beat in the wet ingredients.** Add eggs, mashed bananas, soured cream, and vanilla. Beat the mixture; don't worry about the appearance at this stage.
5. **Add the flour.** Incorporate the flour and baking powder, beating until well combined.
6. **Fold in the chocolate.** Gently fold in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared tin.
7. **Bake the loaf.** Bake in the oven for 60-70 minutes. After 30 minutes, cover lightly with foil to prevent excessive browning.
8. **Cool completely.** Once baked, allow the banana bread to cool completely before savoring its deliciousness.

## Notes

- Baking time may vary slightly, but it shouldn't deviate significantly from the recommended duration. Keep in mind that a skewer may not come out entirely clean due to the presence of chocolate.
- This delightful banana bread will remain fresh and flavorful for 4-5 days.
