Ingredients
- 1 small overripe banana, mashed

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips

- Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the mixture, stirring gently until no flour streaks remain.
- Fold in the chocolate chips to create a delightful batter.
