Chocolate Spice Banana Bread

Fall is officially here and although I am ready to jump all over every pumpkin recipe, I know I have a lot of time for that.  I am loving the weather starting to change (just slightly here in Dallas) and the idea of fun fall flavors.  

Since banana bread is a family favorite and one of the easiest recipes to make, I decided to add chocolate and spices to welcome the new season.
