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?!

Looks fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
We are the same with bananas, and I’ve always got some in my freezer for baking. Now I know what to make with them 🙂
Hi!
Question, no baking soda and/or baking powder, salt or vanilla in this recipe?

Hi Judy, yes that’s right! The self raising flour already has rising agents in it. If you want you can add a little salt or vanilla if your prefer.
Thanks for the lovely recipe. It fell a little in the middle but tastes great.
What have I done wrong. I thought I followed the recipe exactly but mine looks more like suet pudding, texture is horrible totally undercooked. Now back in the oven

Hi Claire, sorry to hear it hasn’t worked out for you. I would say the bananas you have used were quite big? This can impact the texture.
Very quick and easy to make!
