Do not, I repeat, do not ever throw away a “too-ripe banana.” Don’t do it. Let it get really, really ripe. The blacker, the better! Peel off the skin, put it in a plastic baggie and throw it in the freezer. Because one day, very soon, you are gonna crave chocolate chip banana bread, and with bananas in the freezer you will be ready to make a yummy treat.

Thus far in my pregnancy I have disliked all food. All food. It’s not fun. But I suddenly see the light at the end of the tunnel and woke up this morning craving chocolate chip banana bread. Luckily for me, there were three bananas waiting for me in the freezer, and an hour later I had mychocolate chip banana bread.

Nothing goes better with a slice ofchocolate chip banana bread than a glass of orange juice. It is the perfect breakfast treat for mom,especially since it is the only drink other than water I have been drinking this pregnancy. I have to havea glass, or two, or three everyday.

I was recently introduced to Simply Orange Low Acid, and let me tell you why I am excited. I expect my pregnancy heartburn to start any day now, and I thought that would mean an end to my daily glass of orange juice. But now I have Simply Orange Low Acid — perfect timing.

Simply Orange Low Acid is anew low-acid option that is never sweetened, concentrated or frozen, with no added preservatives, colors or artificial flavors. Those with an acid sensitivity can rejoice in delicious orange juice with less acid and asmooth, delicious, fresh squeezed taste.

As much as I love my big KichenAid mixer (in red!), 99% of the time I am too lazy to get down my big mixer for one loaf of banana bread. So I tend to be a hand-mixer girl, and it works great for this recipe. If you don’t have a good hand mixer, get one. Who can resist this ice blue KitchenAid hand mixer?

You will also need a loaf pan.TIP – get two! It is just as easy to mix up a double batch.This chocolate chip banana bread doesn’t last long in my house, you will be glad you made double. (Or you could be a great friend and make one for you and one for a friend.)The two-pack Wilton loaf panis cheaper than two singles.
