Best Banana Bread Recipe

I know, I know, that is what every recipe has for a title these days!  But, when you are time-strapped and those bananas are getting blacker by the second you just need a recipe - right now!  I know there is one in a cookbook I have ... somewhere ... but for speed sake I turned to Pinterest.

So a quick search on Pinterest provided a plethora of options and I'm always the sucker for heading that says it is "the best" version.  So this is the one I chose and I have to say that we are quite enjoying it.  Limited number of ingredients and super quick to throw together with the addition of a few chocolate chips .... pop it in the oven and go back to work for an hour or so (it said 50 minutes, but mine took longer).
