Kathy on 2026-06-22 (5 stars): Can I make this in a 8.5 x 4.5 pan? Would I need to change any of the ingredient amounts? And how long to bake?

Mary on 2026-06-15 (5 stars): This is sooo good and I’ve made it twice already! Any advice on how to keep the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom?
Denise on 2026-06-10 (5 stars): I’ve never tried another recipe for banana chocolate chip bread but honestly, don’t need to. This is fantastic and everyone loves it!
Kalani KB on 2026-06-08 (5 stars): I’ve made it as a full loaf and as four mini loaves and either way it’s delicious!!! Much less time for the mini loaves though hahaha. I do 35-45 minutes and they come out perfect!
Nicole on 2026-05-29 (5 stars): Hi Natasha. I’m lactose intolerant and would love to replace the butter for oil. What would you suggest? What ratio? Thanks and yes, I’m super excited to give it a try soon!
Bailey on 2026-05-25 (5 stars): I have been making this recipe for 2 years -- I triple the batch for a large metal baking pan I have, and it makes 15 large square servings. It's always a hit, and it always gets eaten up!
