I know this isn’t something new I invented but just really really good. I love banana bread. Always have frozen bananas in the freezer for the ready. It is easy to whip up and I love the four small loaf pan I have. You can throw some back into the freezer or grace a friend with a little sweet loaf.
I almost always make this with nuts but decided to change it up and add some chocolate chips instead. Love the combo of chocolate and banana. Yummy!! I love the deep rich color that these loaves are, so inviting for this time of year. A great addition to any lunchbox too!

Thanks for always coming by Michelle!
Banana bread is one of those foods that is pure comfort to me…probably since it is the first thing that I ever remember making when I was little with a recipe that started with my great grandma! I love your addition of sour cream, I imagine that adds nice moisture and tang. Thanks for adding this to the #BakeYourOwnBread basket this month, Tara.
You are so welcome, thanks for hosting!!
