This is, by far the best banana bread recipe I have ever tried...and in my husband's words, "This is the most moist, and best banana bread I've ever had!" This one is definitely a keeper!!!!

I like to bake and got a request from a friend to make chocolate chip banana bread. I found this recipe and just added the semi sweet chips. Now I can't get a moments peace with my phone going off for this amazing bread! Even my son who does not like anything banana loves this bread. It is a keeper!

Turned out to be a moist banana bread. Instead of the vanilla instant pudding I used cheesecake instant pudding and still tasted great. Also used pumpkin pie spice because I didn't have cinnamon. End result it was great
