    Banana Chocolate Chip Bread next to bananas

    Michele, my sister-in-law, is one of the sweetest people in the world. Completely selfless and way too giving. She would give you the shirt off her back. I think she gave my son just as many gifts for Christmas as we did. She could make friends with anyone. I couldn’t have asked for a better sister-in-law. I’ve heard some horror stories about other people’s in-laws. Definitely thank my lucky stars for my husband’s amazing family. On one of Christopher’s trips back to the Empire State, Michele sent him home with some banana bread.

    Bananas only last 2-5 days in the pantry before they are ripe. Then you have to stick them in the fridge and use between 5-7 days. OR, you can freeze them, but they only last 2-3 months in the freezer. Defrosting takes no time at all. For me, it’s easier to stick them straight into the freezer and use them up later. It’s right about this time of the year that my freezer is well-stocked with frozen bananas. Smoothies are great, but they get old after a while, don’t they? Michele inspired me to pull out my Banana Chocolate Chip Bread recipe.

    Baking Tray
    It had been years since I made my Banana Chocolate Chip Bread recipe. You can also add walnuts and more chocolate chips, if you like. Or separate the batter into two mini loaf breads and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean. I highly recommend baking two loaves and freezing one. (See below for freezing instructions). When you have overnight guests, take it out of the freezer and wow them at breakfast with homemade Banana Chocolate Chip Bread and a large pot of coffee. Hope you enjoy, and CHEERS to good families.

        I don’t bake enough. I think it has to do with living in a warm weather area and a hot oven. This recipe is so easy. You can’t mess it up!
