Banana bread is a delicious treat to add to your daily routine as a breakfast choice, mid-day snack or dessert! This recipe uses ripe bananas, which are a high source of fiber, potassium and antioxidants. The addition of dark chocolate chips not only gives the bread a delicious natural sweetness, but also provides you with a boost of magnesium and iron.
