Mash bananas, then add all other ingredients (except chocolate chips if you're adding those) and mix until well combined.
* Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips if you want to add those and/or nuts.
Put into preheated oven at 350 degrees. Line loaf pans with parchment paper and divide batter into 2 9x5" pans equally.
Bake for 45 min or until knife comes out mostly clean when inserted into the middle (with moist crumbs attached). You do not want to overbake this. This will make 2 loaves or 1 loaf and 8 muffins.
