Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

I LOVE banana bread.  I had forgotten how much I loved it until after I tried this recipe.  I had just gotten a Wilton loaf pan for Christmas so this was a great excuse to make a yummy dessert.  The bread came out as moist as can be so I really wouldn't change a thing.  Thanks, Stephanie Cooks! Another winner!

Ingredients:

3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed (I used 4)
1/3 cup melted butter

Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Mix in 2 tablespoons chocolate chips. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan.
