Ba-Nana's Bread

Ashton's Ba-Nana's Note:

This made for a super moist banana bread. I made as written, with the exception of adding about a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. The bread didn't rise much, but it did have a very nice flavor. I took two loaves to work and they quickly disappeared. I gave the third loaf to my in-laws who also enjoyed it very much. Made for Jan. 2011 Bargain Basement Tag.
