- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda

- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter, oil, brown sugar and sugar. It will become light and fluffy. Then mix in the eggs and mashed bananas. You can use a hand mixer for this step if you want but a good wooden spoon will work too.
- Now pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir well to to combine. Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Press them in a little bit.
