Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

With the amount of bananas that we go through in my house in a week, it is amazing that we ever have any left over to make banana bread - but sometimes it does happen. I have a standard banana bread recipe that I use, but I wanted to try something a bit different this time... Glad that I did!! I have already made it again since I tried it for the first time a week ago....
