Notes
Tips for making Banana chocolate chips bread
-
- Use ripe bananas because the riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. Make sure you also mash them thoroughly.
-
- If you love a little crunch in your bread, try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter.
-
- Use mini chocolate chips instead of the chopped chocolate. This ensures that every bite of bread has plenty of chocolate in it.
-
- Don't overmix your batter as this can result in tough, dry bread.
-
- If you want your bread to stay a while, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. This will store for up to three days. You can also freeze it for up to three months.
