I love bananas. I love chocolate chips. I banana bread with chocolate chips.
I truly believe I already have the best, ever, banana bread recipe, given to me by my sweet friend, C. By accident she added two sticks of butter instead of one. After that day, she never changed the mistake… I’m living proof of that mistake… the bathroom scale tells me so. But, it’s good… really good.
I can never resist trying out new recipes though… especially recipes that involve bananas and chocolate chips. 
So, the other day, I tried out two of blogger, Orangette’s banana bread recipes, “Glenn’s Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips and Candied Ginger” and “Banana Bread with Chocolate and Cinnamon and Sugar”. I thought they sounded different and adventurous, so I thought I’d give them a go. 
Although the ginger was fun to add, I felt like I may have put in too much… it was a bit overpowering.
However, even thought it looks a little funkier, the Cinnamon and Sugar recipe, was delish… I loved it and would totally make it again!
Anyone have any prized banana bread recipes they’d like to share?

My mom makes the best banana-chocolate chip-walnut bread. Oh, how I love it! I’ll be posting a coconut banana bread sometime over the next few weeks; it was a first time recipe, but it was really good. Yours looks moist and delicious.
