DISCLAIMER! Guys, my banana bread is not your typical fluffy and light banana bread you may see elsewhere. She is rich, thick, moist. She is beauty she is grace. She thicccc yall. Serves more like a dessert bread pudding than a “bread”.  It's VERY dense. . if you do prefer a lighter and nuttier banana bread, I will be releasing a recipe for that soon so stay tuned! 
I tried this recipe with every type of sugar, more bananas, less bananas, more flour, less flour, semi sweet chocolate, no chocolate. You name it. 100 banana breads later, I decided this was the winner so I hope you enjoy it!
