​Baking is comfort food, not just for the end result, but just by way of the process. The meditative work of whisking and watching ingredients combine from the ground up, to the aromatherapy of flavors swirling through the air and that final moment of pulling your baked goods from the oven, it is pure comfort.  And the good news is:  it doesn't have to be unhealthy to taste good!  

If you love to bake but try your best to eat clean, then this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is for you!  It is the perfect combo of warm and cozy meets decadent, is delicious, and it is perfect for breakfast, as a snack or even a dessert treat.  Try it....you won't be disappointed!
