Tips and Tricks
- For an even richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips.
- If you don't have any ripe bananas on hand, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear overnight.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can make the bread tough and chewy.
- Store any uneaten bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
