Chocolate Chip Walnut Banana Bread-Melaniemakes

By srumbel

Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR bananas are packed into a single loaf of this Chocolate Chip Walnut Banana Bread. A bread absolutely bedazzled with chocolate chips and walnuts. In other words, I dare you to not fall in love with it upon first bite!
