Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it and lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Incorporate the mashed ripe bananas into the wet mixture and stir until fully integrated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
