This is the absolute best Banana Bread recipe... The chocolate glaze gave it a little something extra. I live at a high altitude area of Colorado, so baking can be a real concern. No problems with this bread at all. It turned out just beautiful.<br/>Thanks for sharing.<br/>connies1944

Really yummy! I made 12 regular sized muffins and 15 mini muffins. I made them without chocolate chips. I'm not sure that I would love the chocolate, but might give it a try next time. I love the sour cream addition. Thanks for the great recipe!
