Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Add the eggs, sugar, and oil to the bananas, and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract (if using) to the banana mixture, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Grease a round baking pan with butter and dust lightly with flour, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Scatter the chopped almonds and chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
