This banana bread recipe is the perfect snack made even better with the addition of EVOO which keeps it nice and moist. Perfectly delicious with or without the chocolate chips, this is sure to be your go-to recipe.

This banana bread turns out just right – moist and flavourful on the inside with a delicious crust on top. It is addictive, and I love that it is made with extra virgin olive oil instead of butter!
