Melissa's Notes
Very ripe bananas give the best sweetness and moisture. You can swap the chocolate chips for blueberries or leave the loaf plain without add-ins. A sprinkle of chocolate chips on top before baking gives it a bakery-style finish. Greek yogurt keeps the loaf extra soft and moist. This banana bread freezes beautifully once fully cooled.
