Notes
- For best results, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots.
- You can substitute half of the chocolate chips with chopped nuts if desired.
- This bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. It will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer.
- To reheat, thaw at room temperature or warm slices in the oven or microwave.
