Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Whisk until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas, ensuring that the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients in the large bowl, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Once cooled, slice and enjoy your nut-free chocolate chip banana bread as a delightful snack or breakfast treat!
