Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I've never really *loved* banana bread. I've always eaten it, sure, but it's never quite been something I crave. Then again, I don't really care for bananas anyway.  However, Zach loves bananas so we always seem to have a few on hand after the bunch goes brown.  I usually just make your standard run-of-the-mill banana bread and call it a day.  We typically eat a couple slices then toss it.

Well, it was treat day at work Wednesday and I didn't have a whole lot on hand to make, except for a few 'naners. So, off to one of my new favorite places to find recipes, The Tasty Kitchen. TONS of options.  I also knew I had a few chocolate chips on hand, so I wondered if there were any chocolate chip banana breads out there.... BOY WERE THERE!  I pretty much picked this one because it A) looked easy, B) I had most the stuff and C) Hmm... Sour Cream? That might be interesting.

It was awesome! Everyone loved it and I have had to really resist eating the entire second loaf myself... heh.  I'm pretty sure I'll definitely be craving this again soon!

 *Sorry for the single poor-quality image. I kinda forgot to take a picture when we had a whole loaf... and when it was light out. Live and learn.

So, thank you, brittgarrett, this was delish!
