Instructions

- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until tester comes out clean in the middle of the bread.
- Cool bread for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. Once cool, cut into 12 slices. The bread is best the next day (as are all banana breads!) To serve: top with almond butter or butter and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Enjoy!
