    Added 1/2 tsp of salt, and made my own buttermilk with 1/3 cup of milk and 1 tsp white vinegar. Omitted the cloves. Threw in 1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts for crunch. Did not have any issues with the baking time. My coworkers devoured it!

    I omitted the chocolate, and the oil. Replaced oil with 4 TBSP flaxseed meal, and halved the sugar.
    Put into muffin cups (12 and baked for 30 minutes on the nose.

    The MOST amazing muffins ever!

    Tasty and easy, however my loaf was a little softer than the cakey texture I was looking for, it may have been because I used a smaller loaf pan than the one listed. The only changes I made were to mash the bananas, use 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and added 1/4 tsp salt. Overall a solid recipe. I will remake.......

    Well I know to read the comments ahead next time, because the cook time was indeed not long enough. Even more of a bummer for me because I was late for work and my delicious bread (more like a cake is sitting half done in the kitchen. However, the corner that I did sample was done and so delicious. I was pleasantly surprised with the mix of chocolate and bananas. Next time I will probably squish the bananas in instead of chunks, and try the muffin tins idea.

    Followed the recipe exactly, except for a few adjustments: I used brown sugar instead of white; I also doubled the amount of cinnamon, which did not over-power the overall flavor of the final product--I may even triple the amount of cinnamon next timel; = lastly, I'm going to add a pinch of salt next time because I like the contrast of flavors salt adds to a recipe. I did not make loaves, so I don't have input about the 50-minute bake time. However, I did make hefty muffins instead (recipe yielded 17 full-cup muffins. The final product was rich in flavor and super moist and light. I'll definitely be using this recipe again in the future!

    Was looking for something to do with the overripe bananas on my counter & satisfy my choco-holic husband at the same time. This recipe is delicious! I only had two ripe bananas so I used two from the freezer (not able to dice, so just mixed in & I also added chocolate chips, about 1/2 cup in mix and sprinkled add'l on top for identifier. Makes a VERY moist bread - YUM. As PP's menitoned, needed to bake longer, but this should be standard as all ovens bake diffently (hence the instructions "until a toothpick comes out clean" One recipe made four mini loaves (size = 3 or4 cups? Enjoy!

    I made the recipe almost as directed with the exception of making my own "buttermilk" with whole milk and lemon juice and I used semi sweet chocolate chips melted because that is all I had around. My son loved to swirl the chocolate through the batter and loved to eat it even more. Very moist. Cooking time was dead on in my oven. We also added all the bananas in and let them get mashed up because my husband isn't a fan of chunks in the bread and it turned out just fine that way.

    Unfortunately, I did not read the many reviews that indicated the mistaken cooking time. As a result, my loaf ended up with a crater down the middle even though I cooked it an additional 10 minutes. I will try it again, but am rather frustrated with yet another FNW recipe that has an obvious error in it and yet wasn't corrected even after numerous reviewers pointed out the problem.

    The is a great recipe. I loved the pieces of banana. I would add a little salt and some nuts next time. I had to bake it for longer that the recipe recommended.
