No-brainer Recipe: Extra Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Banana Bread tends to be one of those recipes where everyone has a version that is “The Best.” Everyone and their mother has a tried and true recipe. If you are looking for a twist on an old classic, this is the recipe for you.
Katie from Good Things Catered came up with this recipe for Extra Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, which utilizes a package of vanilla pudding mix, giving the bread a lot of moistness and great flavor. It is my new favorite recipe for banana bread.
Thanks Katie!
