I used 3 bananas and will use 4 the next time. I felt that the chocolate chips were overpowering and could barely taste the banana. Too, I cooked it for 40 minutes and felt it was a little dry. Must have a pretty strong oven! Tasty loaf though, may add a crumb topping the next time too.

We enjoyed this for a late Sunday brunch; I followed the recipe as written. The loaf was tender and moist on the inside, with a nice crust. I baked mine for approximately 53 minutes, and it was done! Simple and tasty, I'll be pulling this out of my hat again, soon! Thanks for sharing, Deantini.

This loaf is barely an hour old and it's half gone! We really like this and the kids love the chocolate chips in particular. I used 2 bananas but I will measure them next time because I think that I didn't quite have enough. Made for Zaar Stars tag game. Thanks Deantini for another great recipe! :)
