Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips
I know this isn’t something new I invented but Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips is 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!

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. 🙂
