My husband has a few recipes that are just his and his alone. His omelets are amazing … as are his deviled eggs, his meatball subs, and his grilled cheese sandwiches.

But his very best recipe of all? His chocolate chip banana bread!

Even so, he hasn’t wanted to share his recipe with the world until now. He finally changed his mind when some friends tasted it and begged him for the recipe, and he realized something this good deserves to be shared.

The big secret to his recipe? He uses way more bananas than usual. It’s that simple! We have a banana tree in our backyard that produces a ton of the cutest little bananas, so many that we can hardly keep up with the demand.

In many ways, this recipe was created out of necessity just to use them all!

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
