I love banana bread but have never tried it before with chocolate chips. This is a recipe that peaks my interest! I think I will give it a try. I like that it’s easy too. I’m always looking for something to do with my over ripe bananas. Thanks for linking up to Share Your Style tonight too!
My family won’t eat my banana bread unless it has chips in it, mini chips to be exact. 😉 It’s a great and easy recipe to make with over ripe bananas.
Thanks to you and all your co-hosts for having such a great party!

Wow, busy lady! But look, still time for baking with all that painting your doing! your a superwoman dear! I love banana bread but never tried it with chocolate chips?!!! I should! Thanks for sharing!
When you crave banana bread you just gotta make it. LOL My family won’t eat it unless there’s chip in it, it’s the first question I get when they know I made it (and it must be the mini chips). 😉
Thanks so much for stopping in Vel.
