Best Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe

This banana bread is wonderful without the chocolate too! I just can’t seem to help myself! I always include it. I actually prefer with chopped chocolate but chocolate chips will work in a pinch!

Sometimes you can’t be too picky, especially if you are like me and crave a little chocolate every once and awhile!

That being said, Our Favorite Banana Bread is wonderful on it’s own, without chocolate of any kind in it. If you don’t want to include it don’t! You won’t be disappointed in the results!
