Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Banana Bread

Easily turn classic banana bread into Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Banana Bread! If you have over ripe bananas and buttermilk to use up, definitely make this banana bread. 

I'm always on the look out to find new uses for over- ripe bananas. Muffins, smoothies, pancakes and banana bread is a few of my family's favorites. Banana bread also pairs perfectly with so many ingredients that coming up with different banana bread variations is always delicious. A few of our favorites are Blueberry Buttermilk Banana bread, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins and Chocolate Banana bread.  

Recently, I added chocolate chips to my basic buttermilk banana bread recipe and boy was it delicious. This simple, moist banana bread is tender from the buttermilk and filled with chocolate chips. This moist, tangy banana bread is perfect for breakfast or as a snack. For a peanut butter variation, try substituting peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips to make peanut butter banana bread. If you're looking for a delicious sweet treat, I hope you'll give this recipe a try. ❤ 

when you're making this Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Banana Bread be sure to reserve about 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips to sprinkle on top just before baking. 

This will ensure and even distribution of chocolate chips throughout the bread and it also looks pretty on top.
