Great recipe! I left out the coconut because I didn't have any, but I'm sure it would be good in it. Did not require any changes, it was so good!

This was seriously horrible. I expected so much from it. I think it just had too many ingredients/conflicting flavors.

Turned out great!! Knowing a teen boy would scarf all of this down fast, I made a few healthy subs...1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup light margarine, 1/2 cup apple sauce, 1/2 cup non-fat yogurt, 1/2 cup ww flour, 1 cup old fashioned oats and I used milk choc chips (what I had on hand). Thanks for sharing your recipe!!

this is a very good recipe. i like the chocolate chips in it, but the added chocolate chips on top is too much for my taste. definatly will be making this again, without the extra chocolate on top.

Really moist cake. Great flavor. We couldnt wait for it to really cool from the over seeing it smelled so good! We followed the recipe exactly, well maybe added a bit more banana but that is because we had so many ripe ones!

This recipe was so good. My family loved it. It was a nice change from the regular banana bread. I didn't add the nuts or coconut. When the cake came out of the oven I did get a knife and spread the chocolate chips over the cake, like a frosting.I also used soymilk instead of buttermilk and it turned out great. Thanks for this great recipe.

These work well as breakfast or as a snack. My husband isn't crazy about them, he said it's a 3, but myself as well as about 4 other people thought they were delicious!

What a great recipe. My only changes were that I used soy milk, 1/2 cup butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips, and extra coconut flakes and banana. So tasty!

I halved the recipe, omitted the nuts and coconut. Added in just a few tablespoons more of the oats. Baked in an 11x7 pan. I didn't eat it. But my husband said it was good. Looks really moist, although he would prefer less chocolate chips next time, unless they were milk chocolate. lol

I altered the recipe a little bit. Like others, I only used 3/4 cup of butter. I had four bananas on their way out, so I used them all. I was running short on chocolate chips, so I added cocoa powder to the dry mixture. And, I'm out of nuts. In the end, they are delicious. I love this recipe!

My gang loved this recipe!! I didn't use real butter, used Country crock light spread, also used splenda in place of the sugar. And I used milk and 1 tsp of lemon juice for the buttermilk, and for the chocolate chips, 1 1/2 cups. YUMMIE..N.L. Sault. MI.

This cake is good. In order to cut some fat and calories, I only used 1/2 cup butter and added 1/2 applesauce to make up for it. I also cut the sugar in half to only 1/2 cup. I didn't have buttermilk, so used light sour cream instead. I also used mini chocolate chips and left out the nuts and coconut. I still thought it was yummy and even my picky boys ate it.

My family really liked this cake. It is sooo good, very moist. But I did make a lot of changes. First we can't have dairy. So I used soymilk and added a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to sour it. And of course non-dairy chocolate chips. I only used a little more than 3/4 cup in the cake itself and none on top. I also used only 1/3 cup coconut. Instead of eggs I used eggbeaters. One cup of butter was WAY to much so I used 4 TBSP + 3/4 cup of applesauce to make up for the rest of the lost butter. I completely left out the walnuts. I know what your thinking, this is a completely different cake, well yes but it still has the same feel as the original. I really enjoyed this cake and cant wait to make it again.

Absolutely delish! Used dark choc chips so it wouldn't be so sweet. If you want to turn it out onto a wire rack for cooling or icing, do not put choc chips on top. Will be making this for son's birthday cake and icing it with lemon creamcheese icing. What a suprise it will be when it's cut - not the usual choc or vanilla cake inside!

This is awesome and has all the things in it that I love. I only used 1 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips and will probably only use 1 cup the next time. I increased the coconut to 3/4 cup and added 1 teaspoon of coconut extract. I also left out the nuts since many of the people I know can't eat nuts. I also used shortening instead of the butter. Wonderful tasting treat!

Ehh, nothing really special. All the ingredients sounded good, but the finished product didn't taste like any of the things I put in it, just kind of like diltued banana cake.

Wonderful, full of flavor. I can't keep my husband out of it... I keep telling him if he'll let it cool the banana flavor will come through even more. My kids love it as well. I had about 1/3 c extra banana so I cut back on the butter by 3 T. I also sprinkled in a bit of cinnamon. Will become a regular in my house. In the future I think I will use just 1 c of choc chips and not put any on top. Also I plan to try w/ butterscotch chips.
