Banana bread packs a lot of potassium into an easy to make, delicious and low-fat treat.  All you need is a few items and you're ready to go!

Today I was stuck inside all day long because of a crazy snowstorm.  Being inside made me want to do some baking and I have had a few bananas in my freezer just waiting to be made into banana bread.
 

Bananas freeze very well and they will keep in your freezer for months.  When you're finally ready to do some baking, like I was today, you will be fully equipped with the ingredients you'll need to make some delicious chocolate chip banana bread.  Here's the recipe...
