Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

A fun chocolate chip banana bread recipe for the kids! Banana bread is the best way to use up overripe bananas, and this fun banana bread recipe adds chocolate chips for a little variation. I always like to sprinkle a bit of extra sugar on top of the banana bread batter just before baking it. Recipe and photo courtesy of Wheat Foods Council.
