For years I’ve kept this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe a secret. It has a crispy sweet top layer and is perfectly moist inside. I love to bake several loaves and give them away to neighbors and friends at the holidays. The sour cream is the secret ingredient!
While we lived in Northern Ireland I had a cute little table at our monthly craft fair and sold sweet bread loaves. I sold out every month. They were popular! It is my go-to recipe when I’m asked to bring a snack to an event and today I’m sharing this top-secret recipe with you.

I hope you enjoy our favorite Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe as much as we do. If you whip up a loaf I’d love to hear how it turned out, leave me a comment below!
Enjoy!
