Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and applesauce to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure a light and tender texture.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the batter, if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for a decorative touch.
Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve! This banana bread is delicious on its own or paired with a smear of butter or nut butter.
