Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (Paleo)
There are few things better than the smell of banana bread baking in the oven, especially when chocolate chips are involved. Ripe bananas keep every slice moist while the chocolate melts into little pockets throughout the loaf. It's one of those recipes I come back to year after year.
