The next day I just kept thinking about Banana Bread. Specifically Chocolate chip banana bread. YUM! So I thought I would give it a try. We are going to the beach next week so maybe I will make some and freeze to take to the beach. I ran to the store after work and picked up some of the items I didn't have on hand-like extra ripe bananas and gave it a whirl.
It WAS easy! The recipe provides lots of variations (which may be fun to try too) but I did the basic yellow cake with chocolate chips and it was great! A lot of the reviews state that it just tastes like banana cake but I disagree. It came out moist and tasted delicious! It was definitely more dense than cake but I can see what the 'cake' reviews meant because it probably wasn't AS dense as a traditional recipe. For what it was worth it was easy and the ingredients were simple so it's a great alternative!
The one slight change I may make next time around is to not use a full bag of chocolate chips. While I love chocolate I think the chips overpowered the bread so next time I may use half a bag to make it perfect. If you like lots of chocolate though go for the whole bag! The recipe makes two loaf pans. Perfect for enjoying one now and freezing one for later or to have to share!
Definitely going in to my bag of
