Easy chocolate chip banana bread
Whenever there are overripe bananas on my kitchen counter, I bake banana muffins for my kids or classic banana bread. However, during the holiday baking season, on special occasions, or at your request, I make this chocolate chip banana bread. Small chunks of chocolate, butter, and overripe bananas make this bread rich, moist, and flavorful. This bread is also perfect as a holiday gift.
