Add the browned butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet and dry ingredients
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add chocolate chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful for topping.
Prepare loaf pan
Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
Bake the banana bread
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, top with reserved chocolate chips, and bake at 175°C for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the bread
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
