Healthier Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

What do you do when you have an extra bunch of super ripe bananas sitting around…you make banana bread of course! My 2 girls request banana bread all the time so I have played around with making it lots of ways. This one is definitely a keeper. It is delicious, dense but still fluffy and moist and just sweet enough. Perfect for a quick breakfast in the morning or an afternoon snack when you get the munchies. 

I love using coconut oil with this recipe and the coconut palm sugar is a healthier alternative to brown or white sugar.
