Your quest for the best Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe ends here! This is the BEST!
I’m a HUGE banana bread fan. Chocolate Chip Banana Bread in particular. Like I could easily put down an entire loaf of this without any questions. I’m that big of a fan. I’m fairly certain that this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread was the first recipe I ever learned how to make. My guess, my mom taught it to me so I could start making it myself and she didn’t have to make bi-weekly batches because we ate it so quickly. Perks of having a child!
Banana Bread is just one of those recipes that you need in your back pocket. I’ve had plenty of banana bread in my day and this recipe below features everything that I’m looking for!
1: It HAS to be moist. No one likes dry banana bread.
2: Chocolate. The little chocolate chips give it that extra hint of sweetness.
3: No nuts. Okay you can add nuts if you want, but I’m partial to a no-nut banana bread! They just get in my way on my quest for the chocolate chips.
4: It tastes like banana! Load it up, I usually put in about 4 bananas. It’s the right thing to do.
There’s a video below if you want a step by step!!
