Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
I have created this recipe for banana chocolate chip bread that you have GOT to try.
Banana bread is a recipe that takes me back to my childhood. My grandmother had a wonderful recipe for banana bread and would bring it with her every time she visited. I still remember the sweet smell of bananas, the subtle scent of cinnamon and the moistness of the bread. My brother was a HUGE fan of her banana bread and would get so excited every time she visited.
It’s weird, but I haven’t really had banana bread in years. Once my grandmother passed away, no one really made it anymore. I don’t know if anyone still has her recipe or not.
Well, that all changes now! I decided, in memory of my grandmother, that I would research the internet for some of the best banana bread recipes. As a result of all of this searching, I have mixed and matched my favorite parts of these recipes into a new legacy of banana bread that will hopefully make my own grandchildren eagerly await my visits.
This recipe for banana chocolate chip bread is super quick and easy. I made this with my 5-year-old daughter and we had a blast!

- Add the Vanilla, Milk and Cinnamon.

- Put the ripened bananas into a separate bowl and mash them with a spoon. You can keep them lumpy or mash them smooth, however you want your bread to be! Incorporate them into your wet mixture.

- Bake for 50-65 minutes. Stick a toothpick into the middle of the bread to make sure that it is done.

I love to reheat mine in the microwave with a little bit of butter on it. It is pretty fantastic! My daughter likes to just eat hers room temperature right out of the pan!
