Amy on 2026-03-31 (5 stars): Came across this recipe as I was looking into making a loaf of banana bread! So glad I did because this came out so yummy :) we only put in half of the sugar, a bit less chocolate chips and topped it off with sugar, pumpkin seeds and rolled oats. It was so delicious, perfect sweetness and crunchy top(because of the sugar), what a great recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Ariana on 2026-03-31 (5 stars): I LOVE this recipe!! I use it to make banana bread for my family and they love it!!! I highly recommend.
Rosie on 2026-03-27 (5 stars): This recipe was delicious!!! Not only was this my first time trying Chocolate Chip banana bread. It was also my first time making it! Both my teenage daughter and I LOVED it and couldn’t get enough. Cannot wait to make it again!
Lill on 2026-03-21 (5 stars): Didn’t have a mixer so I had to do it by hand, made it very difficult, otherwise good
Meena on 2026-03-17 (5 stars): Always a fan of your recipes since it’s 100% fool proof and well explained and the videos help too. Since l only had 2 bananas l compensated with some crushed pineapple and used a variety of semi sweet, vanilla and butter scotch chips. It turned out perfect and was a super hit in the party of my friends circle 👌🏼
