Ingredients

1 box Spice Cake Mix I usually use Betty Crocker
3 Large Bananas
2 Large Eggs
1 Cup Chocolate Chips reserve ½ cup for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
Add eggs and the dry spice cake mix. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in ½ cup of chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick/wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean (melted chocolate is fine). Make sure you test the middle because the edges bake faster.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Substitutions:
Use yellow or chocolate cake mix instead of spice cake mix, if preferred. Chocolate chips can be replaced with chopped nuts or skipped entirely.

Storage:
Store banana bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze individual pieces.
