Chocolate Chip Banana Bread


I know, I know. Banana bread? Everyone and their mother has a recipe for banana bread. But I came a across this version recently and it was so good I made it twice in one week. Seriously. And if my house likes it that much maybe yours will, too. :)

The recipe comes from Molly Wizenberg's memoir/recipe book called A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table. If you prowl the food blogs you may recognize Molly as the author of Orangette. She is a very entertaining writer and has a truckload of good recipes to boot. So check it out from your local library and make this bread. It's uber moist and hey, who doesn't like chocolate in their bread? Just be sure to double the recipe and make two loaves. You don't want to run out. *wink*

I was the lucky mom who got to eat this yummy bread and it is every bit as good as she says it is!

Where is the recipe?

The recipe can be found in Molly Wizenberg's book, "A Homemade Life". As far as I'm aware it isn't available anywhere else. I would check your local library to see if they have a copy. :)

I noticed your chocolate chips sunk to the bottom half of your loaf. I have this same problem with my Zucchini bread. I mix most of the chips into the dough (or is it batter), then after I pour the batter into the bread pans I sprinkle the top with chocolate chips too. That way there are some on the top and on the bottom.

Good idea! I was actually going to bake a loaf today so I will put that into practice. :)
