Truly a delight! Moist and tender inside with that lovely crisp crust on the outside that is the mark of a truly great banana bread if you ask me. This is a very sweet cake and made a huge loaf that overflowed my pan slightly, so next time I may make a regular loaf and a mini loaf from one batch.

This was lovely! It was moist in the middle and crisp around the edges and smelled and tasted wonderful. Just a heads up that it took about 2 hours to cook - it could be my oven, but thought I would mention it. :o)

I wanted something a little different for dessert and had some ripe bananas so I thought I would give this a try...it was wonderful! I didn't have any nuts to add, which would have made it even better, but the chocolate chips helped make up for it. I;ll be making this one again for sure.

I'm so happy I found this recipe. My aunt used to make it. I just put in the ingredients in the search and voila, this recipe showed up. It's really moist and delicious. I had always used 1 cup regular semisweet choc chips, it's good but I think it makes it a little heavy and the chips will sink to the bottom if you put them all in the batter. If you do use regular chips put 1/2 in the batter and 1/2 on top. I will use the mini chips, I think it'll be better. I also used organic wholewheat flour and sifted it because I didn't have cake flour.
