Why they submitted this recipe:For years I made chocolate chip banana bread for my daughter—it was the one thing I knew she’d always eat, and her friends loved it too. It was filling, sweet, and always disappeared fast. I even brought it to her tennis matches, and it earned me “favorite mom� status. I’ll never forget how happy it made them to walk in and smell fresh banana bread baking at our house.
