Notes
- You can add walnuts or pecans instead of chocolate chips if you want! If you want a super moist loaf, add in another half of a banana!
- Add a 1/4 tsp of cinnamon for a great taste addition
- Add another 1/2 cup of mashed bananas if you want to make this super moist and dense! It will take longer to cook however
