Although we seem to go thorough bananas at a frightening speed, there inevitably is always a couple sitting in the fruit bowl which are brown. When I saw three lovely soft brown bananas sitting in the bowl last week, I took it as a sign I needed to make this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.  This recipe is a favourite in our house, the addition of yummy chocolate chips turn this delicious banana bread into something really special.

If you have more will power than us, you can cut up a few slices and pop them in the freezer so you will have Chocolate Chip and Banana Bread on demand – what more could you want?!
