half a cup chocolate chip add more if love chocolate try not to add to much takes away from the taste of the bananas
Mix all ingredients together and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, and turn oven down to 250 degrees and cook 10 more minutes
If you want to leave out the chocolate chips do so it will be just a banana type bread which is delicious too.

Chalk Boards I made:)
I think these turned out so cute. I made these little chalk boards:) I took 2 pieces of wood, and spray painted them a yellow, Added 3 coats of chalk board paint, waiting for each coat to dry before adding another coat. I then took some foamy 3-D pattern flowers and put on the boards they are just foam stickers you can pick up at any craft store. I had a posie trip I added to the one board. I painted one board completely and the other board just a lil over half. I took somw hite ribbon and stapled to the board for hanging. TA_DA they are complete:) I love how they turned out!!Here is some pictures, I hope you like too.
