Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three mini loaf pans by greasing them.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then mix in the melted butter and milk until smooth.
  4. Gradually combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter into three bowls, adding lemon zest, mashed bananas, and chocolate chips accordingly.
  6. Pour each flavored batter into the prepared pans, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the mini loaves to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
