I must add my kudos for this recipe! I absolutely loved it. Even my boyfriend, who insists he has the *best* banana bread recipe, agreed that this was the best he had tasted. I followed some of the suggestions from other reviewers - I used butter instead of shortening, used 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white, added 1 tsp. of vanilla and substituted fat free sour cream for the mayonnaise. I also doubled the chocolate chips, and added them to the dry ingredients so they wouldn't sink to the bottom of the loaf. I also cut the recipe in half to make one loaf, and it worked out just fine. The result was fantastic - I will definitely be making this one again.

This recipe was great! I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 yogurt to cut the fat a bit, and pecans instead of walnuts because that's all I had. The loaf was beautiful and the middle did not fall. Thanks for sharing!!!

This is the best banana bread ever, even better than my grandma's! I made mini loaves to give out for xmas which only took about 35 minutes to bake and made 5 loaves easily. Got many comments! Thanks

I tried this bread for the first time and to my dissapointment, it was like mush in the middle. I won't make it again.

Unbelievably good! This is my first time baking banana bread with chocolate chips, and I'm so glad I tried it! Used some reviewers' tips, such as: used mini semi-sweet chips, replaced 1/4 c. of butter with sour cream, added 1 banana, added cinnamon & vanilla, and replaced 1/2 of white sugar with brown. Cooked in mini-loaf pans for about half the time (30-35 minutes), and voila! Perfect for gift-giving, if they last long enough!

This was delicious! I used chocolate chunks and added much more than the recipe called for so it had to cook longer, but it turned out great. Very moist and flavorful!

This is very good and a nice addition to (plain) banana bread. As if there is such a thing! The only thing I do different is I use mini chocolate chips. I like it much better that way.

Delicious!! Tastes just like my grandma's recipe - moist, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness! I used 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar instead of just all white, and butter instead of shortening. 40 mins. was just perfect! Thanks for the yummy recipe!

Great Bananna Bread recipe. I added 1 1/2 cups of mini chocolate chips and no walnuts, and It was the perfect amount of chocolate. I also added the chocolate chips to my dry mixture to prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom.

Before I found this recipe, I always tried a different recipe each time I made banana bread. Now this is the only one I use. It is great just how it is. My husband and children just love it!

My breads sunk in the middle so they weren't pretty to look at. The bottoms stuck to the bottom of the pan despite greasing the pans. Very dark colored bread and the chocolate chips went to the bottom of the pan. Kind of disappointed:( Oh well....

This recipe is so easy and the taste is incredible! I brought it to a pot luck lunch, and everyone loved it! My kids and husband love it too. I can't wait until I have some more over-ripe bananas so that I can make this again. I halved the recipe because I only had three bananas, and it fit perfectly into three mini loaf pans - perfect. I also used half white/half brown sugar - other than that, I followed this reciped to a "t" - thanks for sharing!

I am a brand new cook, who usually manages to mess up most things I try! This recipe was simple and delicious! A huge hit, everyone loved it. I did follow the advice of other reviews by substituting butter for shortening, and half brown/half white sugar. I also only cooked it for 40 minutes, and that was perfect.

I just keep making it and making it. Always very good! I use butter, just because I never have shortening. In the past I have added a pear and plain yogurt, and I tend to go heavier on the chocolate and nuts. I've made it as muffins, loaves, bundt -- big hit!

This is GREAT recipe. I'm always bored by regular banana bread and the choco chips gave it that extra satisfying sweetness. Some modifications (past suggestions plus my own) that worked out great: didn't use any mayo or mayo sub, mixed all dry ingredients plus choco chips/nuts THEN added to wet mix, used half brown half white sugar, upped walnuts to equal chips, chopped chips so choco would not overpower flavor, subbed butter for shortening, 20 min in muffin tins at 400 degrees made a crispy top and moist inside. The chocolate made it pretty desserty so I might go easy on the chips next time. But overall DELISH!

This has become a regular recipe in the household...whenever banana's get too "brown" for my kids, I make up this recipe. It hasn't failed me yet in the dozen or so times I've made it.

This recipe has a lot going for it. The loaf is very moist, and the bread has a great slightly chewy but tender texture... but, I thought it was too sweet. I used the amount called for in the recipe, but subbed in brown sugar for part of the whitep; I didn't pack it tight and still it was just too sweet for me. And beware, if you are looking for a pretty presentation you may be disappointed as the middle sinks in. It doesn't look awful, but it doesn't form that perfectly rounded loaf top that people expect either. However, I am giving it 4 stars because I am the only one who tried it and thought this. All my other guinea pigs gave it rave reviews. So I may try it again and cut the sugar in half and just use brown sugar. Because the presentation doesn't matter to me, and the texture and moistness were superb.
