Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Improv Cooking. Not only do we share our favorite recipes, but we combine two exciting ingredients in those.
This month we are putting together bananas and chocolate.
I decided to share another of my quick bread recipes for this, my older recipe being sugar free. There are some other changes in it as well. In addition to using Splenda and sf chocolate, it had used sour cream.
This version uses sugar and buttermilk.

I don’t use Splenda much anymore and tend to avoid sugar free chocolate. So having a regular version of this bread is helpful to have. It is perfect for my guests.
