Banana Bread with Chocolate Chip Streusel

I can’t believe a whole week slipped by me without doing a post. I kept procrastinating and before I knew it, the week was over. It’s been a hectic week and I’m happy for a day I can rest and relax. Maybe I’ll catch up on some reading. In the mean time, this is my first attempt at making banana bread and it was inspired by this recipe. I’ve never been a huge fan of banana bread but the chocolate chip streusel gives this loaf a whole different taste. Use very ripe bananas for this to get the full banana flavor. Pecans would work if you don’t have walnuts.

    Hi! I just wanted to say Thank you so much!
    I absolutely love this recipe!
    I’ve been making it for a couple of years now and friends always compliment it. Today I’m going to attempt to make it but in muffin form… For fun.
