Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a loaf pan so the bread won’t stick. In a mixing bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer until it’s nice and smooth. Crack in the egg and keep beating on medium-high speed for a minute or two until the mixture is light and fluffy. Next, mash up your bananas with a fork and stir them into the batter—don’t worry if there are a few lumps left. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring just until everything is combined. Fold in the chocolate chips gently. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean. When it’s done, let the bread cool in the pan for about five minutes before flipping it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. It’s especially tasty when served warm!
