Points to note:

Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the ripeness of the bananas. The riper the bananas the sweeter they are.

I used mini chocolate chips but you can use any type of chocolate pieces such as chunks or the larger size chocolate chips.

Monitor the temperature carefully. Reduce if the bread begins to crack on top. This usually means the temperature is too hot and/or the pan is too small.
