Now if you are making banana and chocolate chip bread, make sure you have a good loaf pan.

If you need a loaf pan, I highly recommend you purchase this one – I would purchase 2. I have 2, but sometimes I wish I had 4.

This is a regular sized pan which is what I used. However, you can turn this recipe and make them into smaller loaves which are super fun for gift ideas.

Wilton Recipe Right 4 Cavity Mini Loaf Pan is a great pan and you can use this entire recipe to fill up those 4 mini loaf pans.
The Baker’s Secret 8 Petite Loaf Pan is also fun for gift ideas. You can use this recipe to make these 8 petite pans as well

If I am taking the loaf to someone, I like to use the disposable loaf pans so they don’t have to worry about getting anything back to me.

Ok, lets make this Simple Chocolate chip Banana bread Recipe:

Ingredients for easy chocolate chip banana bread:

Add flour and stir well.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Other ideas to try:

• You can add nuts to this bread recipe. Yum!
• Try using dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate or anything you prefer.
• Substitute White chocolate chips for something different.

How to freeze banana bread:

This recipe freezes great and I try to always freeze a few loaves.  You can make a lot all at once and then freeze them.

Just wrap it in cling wrap and place in a freezer bag.  Allow it to thaw on the counter until you are ready to serve. Your family will never know it came out of the freezer.

You might want to double the recipe like we do so you can have one now and one for later. It really isn’t any more work to make extra and you can stock your freezer.

When I make a double batch, I like to make one loaf and then use the rest of the batter to make medium or mini loaves. We eat the large loaf straight away and then freeze the smaller loaves for later. Everyone loves getting to enjoy some now and later!

The mini loaves are also really cute gifts to hand out to neighbors, friends and more. It is the perfect size and everyone loves these.

Tip:

You can also freeze slices of this bread so that you only are taking out what you need at that moment.

This is perfect for those times when you do not need an entire loaf. Or maybe one child wants a slice but the other does not.

Just grab and go! We are all about quick and easy around here and saving money is a plus for sure!

This makes a great snack, breakfast idea or even dessert. The kids and the entire family love this anytime of the day.

It is so easy and frugal. You will love it!

You might want to go ahead and double the recipe to have extra to freeze. It is so delicious and really handy too.

Can you freeze bananas to use for Banana Bread?

Remember, next time you have bananas that are about to go bad, freeze them so they are ready for some delicious banana bread!

I actually will put three to four over ripe bananas in a freezer bag and label it “ready for banana bread” so it is easy even easier to thaw and have it ready for bread.

Simple things like this really save time and money. This will make the best banana bread and you won’t have any waste thanks to freezing the bananas.

Sometimes we will buy bananas on sale and freeze them.

I am all about using what is on sale at the grocery store or that I already have in the freezer. I cut our grocery bill by 50% off by following these 8 Tips for for Saving Money on Groceries by Menu Planning!

Save that money for something else or to give you family wiggle room in the budget.

Try mini muffins. 

You can also try mini muffins with this easy recipe.

If you don’t have a mini-muffin pan, I highly suggest you get one. Mini muffins just simply taste great. They are faster to cook and easier to eat.

I love my Wilton mini muffin tins, but for just a few dollars more you can get a silicone pan. These are great because the mini muffins just pop out so much easier.

Try chocolate chip banana bread for lunch box treats or after school snacks!

We all know how expensive all of those pre-packaged treats can be. They really add up over time and don’t go that far when your family is large like mine.

I like making homemade treats and it saves a ton of money. It also is a big hit with the kids.

One trick I have is to put slices of this banana Bread in ziploc bags. They will be all ready to grab for after school snacks, breakfast or lunchboxes.

I have found that if I do this, it’s just as handy as those expensive pre-packaged items you buy at the store. This gives me all the convenience without all the cost.

It’s the thought that counts and everyone always is so appreciative of these little loaves.

You can also buy disposable loaf pans if you prefer. They have the aluminum ones to choose from and the pretty paper ones.

The paper mini loaf pans do cost a little more but they are so pretty. I try to catch these on sale and keep some on hand for when I’m baking for others.

They just look so pretty when I’m giving these as gifts. Sometimes during the holidays you can find some of the paper pans all decked out for Christmas.

So pretty!
