Bananas are a hit or miss thing in our house.
One week I can buy a bunch of bananas with the idea to bake something delicious, but then my family eats all of them as soon as they ripen. Don't they know that those bananas were supposed to become Double Chocolate Banana Muffins?
Or I get in banana-eating mood and eat all of the green ones before they can ripen. Yes, I am a crazy person who can only stand to eat fresh bananas when they are green. They have to crunch when I open the peel. My hubby laughs whenever he sees me eating these "banapples" because he loves a perfectly ripe banana. In fact, he prefers to eat his with the spots on them. To me, those are only good for baking when they hit that point.
Then some weeks I buy the bananas, and they sit there forever. Ok, not forever, but until all of a sudden my kitchen becomes a fruit fly factory. One of these days I'm going to remember to try washing the bananas as soon as I come home and see if that really works.
Good thing I love to make banana treats because if a whole bunch goes brown and spotty, we are going to be munching on Banana Nut Cinnamon Rolls and Banana Toffee Cake all week for breakfast. Both recipes are just perfect with a warm cup of coffee in the morning. Or in the afternoon if I'm being honest.
This time when the bananas turned I decided it was time to ramp up this Sour Cream Banana Bread with some extra chip-loving. Extra chocolate chips always get rave reviews here. Now I actually wasn't even going to photograph this bread because I only changed the recipe slightly. So, I sliced it up and let the kids go to town on it.
After my daughter took one bite, she turned and asked if I was going to blog this bread. I told her no, and she just shook her head and said, "Mom, this is awesome. You need to share it."
I'm glad I jumped up and took pictures of it right away, because that loaf of bread didn't last very long with 3 hungry kids munching on it. Ok, fine, I may have downed a few slices too. My daughter was right...this bread was totally awesome and had to be shared. Make a loaf and thank my daughter for her smart thinking.

I've actually been getting into the habit of eating a banana almost every day! Shock, I know since I've hated them my whole life, but I am really trying to get more fruit into my diet. If bananas last long enough my house, this will be getting made soon!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Definitely save a few bananas and eat banana bread instead 🙂 I can't wait to hear what you think of it!!!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel
I am in LOVE with this bread! I made Triple Chip Cookies a couple years back and forgot how much I loved them... until I saw this! Now I want to triple chip everything 😀
Jocelyn Brubaker
Now I want triple chip cookies 🙂
Kathleen @ Yummy Crumble
This looks awesome! I'm with you on the green bananas! That's the only way I can eat them. I feel they're sweeter. I usually save my old bananas for hummingbird cake. I need to try this!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Yay! I am so glad to find so many people who eat their bananas like me!!! Power to the green banana eaters 😉
Julie @ This Gal Cooks
I'm the same way with bananas - I buy a bunch and then eat one or two and then don't do anything with the rest! Well, sometimes I will bake with them or throw them in the freezer for smoothies, if I remember to! And I totally get eating the bananas when they still have a little green on them. Once they start to get the little brown spots on the peel, I won't eat them by themselves anymore. LOL
Totally digging this bread, especially all of the delicious chips in the bread. LOVE!
Emily @ Life on Food
We eat so many bananas in our house. I have to hide them in order to get them to ripen enough for baking before they disappear. Always tricky!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I should start hiding bananas too. Except I would totally forget about them and then have a complete fruit fly farm!!!
Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg
I was first introduced to cinnamon chips at a friend's house when we were making waffles. After that, I make sure to keep them in my house at all times. Bananas are a hit-or-miss in my house too. Sometimes we eat them all in a couple of days and sometimes they just sit and get spotty and brown. I'm looking forward to trying this banana bread. 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
I just love those cinnamon chips too, so there is always a bag in our cupboard for sneaking into baked goods!
Des+@+Life's+Ambrosia
Loving this bread! And I am totally with you, ripe bananas. I can't handle eating them when they have spots on them, unless it's in a baked good 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Glad I'm not alone in the way I eat bananas!!!
Kristi@inspirationkitchen.com
Wow, banana bread is an all time favorite!
Anna @ Sunny Side Ups
Aw yum...the triple chips make this bread a flavor party in your mouth! Love love lovin it!! 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Party in your mouth banana bread...I love it! 🙂
Julie @ Tastes of Lizzy T
Bananas never last in our house! I think each one of us likes them in just a different stage of ripeness. They never last long enough for banana bread. I have to buy rotten ones. This bread looks fantastic, though!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Yup, same banana problems here!! Good idea to buy the already rotten ones specifically to bake with!!!
Jen @ Baked by an Introvert
Ah, we both shared a banana bread today! It has to be one of my favorite breads ever but I find it terribly difficult to photograph. Your photos turned out great and those triple chips are calling out to me!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I totally agree with you...breads are so hard to capture!!! I can't wait to check out yours!!!
Mary Frances
Thank goodness that even when bananas are a miss, they bake up the most amazing loaves! Case in point - triple the baking chips, triple the addictiveness. This loaf looks absolutely amazing Jocelyn!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I love when I have ripe bananas to bake with!!!
Sharon @ What The Fork Food Blog
This bread looks delicious Jocelyn! I also like my bananas a little under ripe, though I don't eat them green. They have to be just yellow without a single tiny speck of a brown spot.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thank you Sharon. Yeah, I'm crazy and like a little green on my peels 😉
Stacey @ Bake.Eat.Repeat.
This bread looks amazing - adding a bunch of chocolate chips to banana bread is always a great idea! I'm the exact same way with fresh bananas though, they need to be underripe for me to eat them! I'd rather bake with them!!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Under ripe bananas are the best to munch on!!! And yes, chocolate chips and banana bread is a great idea 🙂
Aimee @ ShugarySweets
Your banana bread recipes are always so delicious looking. LOVE the triple chip idea!!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thank you so much 🙂
Tonia from TheGunnySack
I don't like eating bananas because of the texture so I am super excited to try a green one now! I think I am going to love them too!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I'm with you on the texture of a ripe banana...maybe that's why I like the "crunch" of a slightly green one. Let me know how you like them!
Chandra@The Plaid & Paisley Kitchen
I only eat green bananas too!! Good to know I am not the only one. My family thinks I am crazy. As for this bread. OMG I love how moist it is!!!
Jocelyn Brubaker
LOL! My family thinks I'm a crazy banana eater too. I keep telling them there are others like me!!!
Kristen @ A Mind Full Mom
Well, those overripe bananas are calling me to make this! My husband loves banana bread and always is hoping for me to add a few chocolate chips to it. This would spoil him!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Woo hoo! Gotta love when food talks to you 🙂
Jenn @ Peas and Crayons
Desserty banana breads are my favorite! This looks so good I wish I had a slice for breakfast!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I am all about a banana bread that sounds like dessert too 🙂
Annie @ Annie's Noms
Oh yes - LOVING all the chips in this, what a flavour combination! 🙂
Mir
You pretty much had me at "cinnamon chips." Wow. This banana bread looks amazing!
But under ripe bananas, not so much. And those fruit flies drive me crazy!!!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thank you so much! Aren't those cinnamon chips so good?!?!?!
