Emergency I Need to use the Last 3 Bananas Bread
Without fail, every week there's always 3 bananas that nobody wants to eat from the bunch. How do we fix that? With this! Still counts as a fruit serving right?
I don't know about your household but every week there's always a few bananas they never get eaten. I don't know what it is about those last bananas?
A few tips
If the top starts browning too quickly after about 40 minutes, loosely cover it with foil.
It's even better the next day once the flavors have settled.
It freezes beautifully. Slice it first so you can thaw individual pieces whenever you want.

- Pour into the loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
