Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe | Easy Quick Bread

I can’t even tell you how many times I over-purchase bananas and we have a lot leftover. Sometimes I freeze them and use them in smoothies, but my favorite thing to do is bake with them. Ripe bananas make baked items moist and delicious. This Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe is passed down from my Grandmother.

It’s such an easy quick bread and everyone loves to have a piece. The chocolate chips add the touch of sweet and the nuts give it a crunchy texture. The bread crumbles perfectly and I like to enjoy it best when it’s fresh out of the oven.

You can serve this Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Bread with coffee, slice it for a bread basket or use it as a base for a twist on classic French Toast. Just a warning though, you might find yourself buying extra bananas on purpose because it’s just that good!
