Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

This is more of a desert than a bread and is great with butter and popped in the micro for 10 sec. My mother made two loaves every week or two since my brother, sister, and I ate a slice for breakfast almost everyday. Grocery stores usually sell ripe bananas if you want to make the bread within the day.
