Banana bread is one of those delightful desserts-in-disguise-as-breakfast that you can find at just about any grocery store or bakery. But finding a freshly baked piece with the right texture and flavor is a whole different ball game ... I only recently realized this after having insanely awesome banana bread a couple of times on my honeymoon in Hawaii and coming home wanting to procure myself something that resembled what we enjoyed in Maui. Thankfully, the closest thing to Hawaii is ... in my kitchen! Banana bread is a piece of cake (kinda, right?) to DIY! Love it. Love it even more with chocolate chunks. Oh yes.

Check out this simple, delightful recipe ...

Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Gradually add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Stir in chocolate.
