Method

Prepare to bake:

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease and line a baking tin with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Beat thoroughly until well combined.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle with extra chocolate drops. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
