Chocolate Buttermilk Banana Bread

When you’re in the mood to mix up your normal banana bread routine this Chocolate Buttermilk Banana Bread is the perfect delicious way to go! I love the chocolatey bread with the banana and chocolate chips. If you don’t have buttermilk you can sub cream or sour cream!

I really do bake a lot but it’s so fun to have a special treat for Saturday breakfast or for after school. This Chocolate Buttermilk Banana Bread is a great treat to make for your family because it only makes one loaf – nice treat to have around but not too much.

Also, when you’re making this Chocolate Buttermilk Banana Bread be sure to reserve half of the chocolate chips to sprinkle on top just before baking. This gives a really pretty top to the Chocolate Buttermilk Banana Bread but also tons of gooey chocolate on the top of each bite.
