OMG! This was so good. I added 2 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon. I used my pampered chef stoneware pans and the crust was fantastic!

I am always on the search for a good banana bread - moist, full of banana flavor, and not too dense. This is a wonderful recipe, and the chocolate adds something extra-special to it. I omitted the walnuts (allergy) and used 1/2 c shortening 1/2 cup applesauce for lower fat. It turned out terrific. This is definitely going to be my standby recipe from now on.

Everyone truly enjoyed the banana bread!!! It was a huge success! =]

one of the most scrumptous breads ever! it can tend to be a little gooey...but that makes it all the more better in my book.

Had to make a few changes, to make healthier. Omitted walnuts. Used unsweetened applesauce in place of shortening, 1/2 splenda & 1/2 sugar instead of all sugar, added one extra banana and used 1/2 white & 1/2 whole wheat flour. It was very moist and good! Everyone at the cook-out ate it up!

Very moist and tastie! I did use 1/4 c brown suger for some of the suger and per other review I put in some vanilla. Turned out wonderful

After my second attempt at this recipe I now know it is definitely the one! Overcooked it last time, so this time I was more careful, and aswell I added an extra banana (although mine are fairly small, but I use bananas that I have peeled and frozen in a ziploc bag), used all shortening instead of half butter, half white and half brown sugar and added some vanilla and cinnamon. I also added extra brown sugar and walnuts for a topping. My mother-in-law tried it today and she said it is better than hers!

Yum. Upped the chocolate chips and walnuts. Otherwise, made according to recipe. Makes enough to keep one loaf at home and send one to work.

My favorite banana bread recipe, I added an extra nana as I just happened to have it. Very moist bread with great flavor.

Awesome!!! Very moist. Nice and chocolaty.

Really good! Some of the reviews suggested smaller chocolate chips, but I did the opposite and andded the "chunk" semi-sweet chips. It's a great suprise to get a huge piece of chocolate in this bread! Bake for the whole time, I didn't have two loaf pans so I cooked each one seperate, and the second one needed a lot longer to bake all the way thru. I followed all the other suggestions by the reviewers, adding cinnamon and vanilla, and butter instead of shortening. Gone within a couple days! Hard to stop after just one piece.

This is sinfully delicious. I use butter for shortening, all white sugar and probably double the chips and walnuts. My boyfriend begs me to make it!

Excellent, easily adjustable recipe. I use 1/2 brown sugar (tonight, it was turbinado sugar) and use an applesauce/ground flax seed/oil combination for the cup of shortening. And my standard replacement of 1/3 white flour and 2/3 whole wheat flour/soy flour/wheat germ. This bread is still sweet enough and moist.

loved it, but when I made it I added probably 1/2 cup more of choc chips and it may have been a bit more than I should have, but still very good

I've tried a few different recipes for banana bread, but this is the best yet - with or without the chocolate chips. Seems like it might also be good with dried fruit.
