In a medium bowl mash 2 of the bananas with a fork, leaving them slightly lumpy.
Slice the remaining banana thinly, and set aside.

FAQ :
Can You Freeze Chocolate Chip Banana Bread?
Indeed! Either you can freeze any extra banana bread that you have, or you can double the recipe and preserve a loaf for later. Both of these options are fantastic ways to save money.
If you want to prevent moisture from escaping, wrap the banana bread in plastic wrap and then wrap it again in aluminum foil.
For a period of up to two months, the banana bread can be stored in the freezer.
The banana bread should be allowed to thaw at room temperature before being consumed.
How to Reheat Banana Bread :
If you have frozen the bread, then, as I mentioned before, you should be sure to let it defrost thoroughly before proceeding.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and then wrap the loaf in aluminum foil. After heating it for ten to fifteen minutes, it will be just as good as new!
You can also toast slices of leftover banana bread, which is an excellent way to have a warm slice of banana bread without having to reheat the entire loaf of bread!
To answer your question, yes, it is possible to reheat a slice of banana bread in the microwave; however, this is not the way that is advised because it does not heat uniformly. In a pinch, however, you can heat a slice for ten to twelve seconds, and it will be ready to go.
