Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

You guys-I’ve had such a crazy week, I meant to post this recipe for you last week but life has been a whirlwind. Last Wednesday I flew from England back to Georgia for a super fast house hunting trip.

I made this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread for my husband and three boys before I left and intended to write about it while I was away but I was so exhausted between the jet lag and house viewings I didn’t even open my computer until I got home again yesterday.

Good news is we found an amazing house and will be moving in July-I am over the moon excited to share it with you soon. In the meantime, let’s share some delicious banana bread!

Why this is the Best Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I love this recipe because it’s so fast and easy to make. You don’t even need a mixer, just throw everything in a bowl, mix it up by hand and pop it in a pan to bake for an hour. It also makes the house smell delicious while it’s in the oven.

How to Serve Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

I like to eat my bread warm with a little butter but it’s amazing cooled and plain as well. Try it both ways and let me know what you like better!
