This chocolate chip banana bread can be made for breakfast or dessert! I try to make this any time my bananas have started going bad in my house. I’ve made it as a double chocolate banana bread (sub 1/2 of cup of flour for cocoa powder), muffins or bread. You can make it healthier by subbing some of the flour with protein powder as well!
