1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 large extra ripe bananas (mashed)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

LIME GLAZE:

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. lime juice

Preheat oven to 375°F degrees

Sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl and set aside.

In a medium bowl, mash bananas and set aside.

Hand mix together eggs, sugar and butter until nice and smooth in a separate bowl.

Add sifted ingredients to the blended egg mixture and blend together by hand with a large spoon.

Add mashed bananas, vanilla extract and chocolate chips. Pour into greased loaf pan.

Bake at 375°F for 45 to 60 minutes depending upon the size and type of pan used (glass, metal or ceramic).
