A little while back, I was elated to sample a chocolate chip banana bread recipe from my dear friend’s grandmother. I was excited to try it out for myself, and a little while back finally decided to throw the simple ingredients together. I anxiously waited the 50 to 55 minutes to see if I could produce a similar sort of magic – and was happy with the results.
I’ve been saving this recipe for this last (tear) column of the year as a sort of parting gift to The Daily and its readers … because, well, it’s just that good. I reckon it would make a delicious summer treat to welcome the sun, and an even better apartment-warming gift. Spring’s-a-coming, and this yummy banana bread will get your baking back in gear. Bon voyage and bon appetite, friends.
