Chocolate Banana Bread

This Chocolate Banana Bread is loaded with banana and chocolate flavor. It is soft, moist, tender and super easy to make. I've made this once and made Chocolate Banana Muffins. I had great feedback on this recipe so I decided to make it into a loaf. Make sure not to omit the the banana because it's what makes this moist. It's almost like eating Chocolate Cake. The semi-sweet chocolate chips on top are optional but it's a great addition for presentation and taste. The more chocolate the better, isn't it?
