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.

Triple Chips

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.

    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!!

    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!

    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. 🙂

    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!

    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!
