I had three ripe bananas, so I decided to bake a moist and delicious chocolate chip banana loaf. It’s semi-sweet to begin with, but for those with a sweet tooth, it becomes sweeter with the addition of chocolate chips. If you prefer something less sweet, you can reduce half of the sugar and cut the chocolate chips.
For this recipe I mixed my favorite spices! You can add or change based on your preferences.
Enjoy Baking!

I loved this one — especially the sweet version with extra chocolate : )
