Chocolate chip banana bread has got to be one of the best chocolate treats. If you need a recipe for bread without yeast, this is the dessert bread for you! With just the right amount of chocolate and an easy recipe to make, this banana bread is a great way to use up bananas that are past their prime and turning brown.
The sour cream in this banana bread keeps it extra moist and the brown sugar takes a traditional banana bread recipe and turns it into a sweet dessert with an unmatched depth of flavor.
If you’d like to add walnuts or another type of nut to this banana bread, you certainly can. You can also adjust the amount of chocolate chips. Banana bread with chocolate chips can be quite a sweet combination, so I like to add just enough to scatter some chocolate goodness throughout, but not have the chocolate overpower the bananas in the bread. Fine tune the combination for your tastebuds and you will have the best chocolate chip banana bread recipe to keep in your recipe box.

You can keep it in the refrigerator or even the freezer for up to 1 month (frozen). Defrost at room temperature for several hours when you’re ready to eat it.
