Bring to Brunch: Best Banana Bread

My dear friend Nicole is quite the baker. Among her go-to brunch items, my favorite is her chocolate chip banana bread. I can’t remember where or when I first tried it, but I knew immediately that it was the best banana bread I’ve ever eaten. The bread is incredibly moist and Nicole is always generous with the chocolate chips. Chuck’s brother is visiting this weekend and we need a sweet in the house, so I made a couple loaves and will freeze the leftovers (yes, banana bread freezes well). Hope you like it, Michael!
