School time is right around the corner and let me tell ya, trying to organize the cold lunch ideas is rather tricky to say the least.

Why? Well, I have a new to the school routine 6 year old and he needs help to pack his lunch. His mother (me) needs to get four children out the door for school. The easier I can make lunch packing the better for both of us. If you haven’t read it before, you should read my tips on packing school lunches.

How To Make Easy Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

The bread is an easy recipe, with ingredients you likely have in your pantry. I am going to give the one loaf ingredients to you, however, I typically double the recipe.

To freeze this banana bread, simply cut the bread into slices and wrap and freeze. I then like to place the bread in freezer bags, flat, so the kids (and hubby) and reach in and pull out a slice to pop in their lunch or even warm up for breakfast. The bread will be thawed by lunch time or you can microwave it for 30 seconds or so for breakfast.

To Bake

Mix the dry ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. In a larger bowl, add together wet ingredients. Mix together and stir in bananas and chocolate chips. Put it in a greased loaf pan and bake at 350*.

So easy and delicious.
