Place the bananas in a bowl and mash them well using a fork.

Add 1/2 cup sugar to the mashed bananas and mix well.

Pour in 1/2 cup oil and beat the mixture until well combined.

Add 1 egg (room temperature) and 3-4 drops of vanilla essence to the mixture and beat well.

Sift in 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Do not add baking powder.

Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients gently in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.

Chop cooking chocolate into large pieces and add to the batter. You can also use chocolate chips or other options if desired.

Grease a bread pan with oil and dust it with some flour, spreading it on all sides.

Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan and tap it a few times to settle.

Bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes.

Once baked, the bread should have a beautiful golden color and chocolate chunks visible.
