Is there such a thing as too many chocolate chips?
Today I made the egg free banana bread that is posted on this forum. I've made this recipe several times but today I must've made some mistake because the bread just fell apart. I honestly think I used too many chocolate chips! Has this ever happened to you?
I once made chocolate chip cookies that my kids refused to eat saying they were too chocolaty. Now that I cut chocolate by a quarter and switched from Ghirardelli to Nestle they can't have enough of them.
That might be the recipe I posted. It's from allrecipes.com. If it is, I can say that it has happened that the slices come apart. But I usually add more banana, less oil and some vanilla, so my tweaks may be the cause here. Generally I find that recipe to be perfect for us - I can change it around and it's always delicious.
Sorry, reading my answer I realize it's not much help, but I hope your banana bread tasted great.

But I didn't tweak them that way this time - the recipe calls for oil or butter and I usually just use applesauce but this time I didn't. But I really do think it was the chocolate chips - if the chips are all bunched together, the bread falls apart there. Too much of a good thing, once again. :)
the bread still tastes great!
