Super moist in texture and robust in flavor this Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a family favorite. Smashed bananas, light brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and whole milk makes for a perfectly soft and flavorful slice of bread. 
January has been a busy month...great, but busy! I thought it was supposed slow down, make time to organize, start fresh and all the cliches of the new year 🙂 But I have officially decided that February is the new January and I am starting my year fresh on February 1st! Starting with making banana bread to have on the counter for breakfast, snack, dessert...whatever mood we might be in.
There are a ton of ways to make banana bread and I have several in the recipe archives, but there is something about brown sugar that makes this one SOOO good! It also makes the most beautiful golden crust and the best rich flavor.

It is cooking after baking and I am having a hard time waiting! This is my second time making this and I added 4 bananas instead of 3 from last time. It was so delicious last time, it's only going to get better!
