Judy’s Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling
YIELD: 1 loaf (16 pieces).
I received this chocolate chip banana bread recipe from my co-worker and dear friend Judy years ago. When she gave it to me she said I'd never need another banana bread recipe. She was almost right. I added more chocolate chips for the chocolate lovers in my family. — Debra Keiser, St. Cloud, Minnesota
