BANANA BREAD


Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe


Homemade bread is always a treat. My daughters are always asking me to make banana bread. Both think this is the best banana bread because it's double chocolate, made with cocoa chocolate and chocolate chips. My charming son-in-law likes plain banana bread. Sweet bread is really pure comfort food and goes well with a glass of milk or your morning coffee.

I like to double the recipe and freeze several. Mini loaf pans are the perfect size if you're bringing a hostess gift.
Chocolate Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips



We prefer the mini semi sweet chocolate morsels in this dessert bread.  The addition of cocoa powder gives this chocolate banana bread a nice, rich chocolate flavor.  You can add nuts if your family likes them.

If chocolate's not your thing, I have a terrific recipe for a quick, plain, simple banana bread.

This banana bread can be sliced and then freeze and seal using my Food Saver Vacuum Sealing machine for quick breakfast or impromptu snack.  They're easy to defrost in the microwave in a pinch.

Another family breakfast bread favorite is this easy Simple Banana Bread or Monkey Bread made with Maple Syrup! 

If Cream Cheese is your thing I also have Cream Cheese Nibble Bread and Sourdough Cinnamon Buns
