Can I use frozen bananas?

Absolutely! In fact, those black frozen bananas in your freezer are perfect. Just thaw them in a bowl first (they'll get super mushy - that's what we want). Save the liquid that drains off - it's packed with banana flavor! Stir it back in along with the melted butter.

Can I substitute oil for butter?

You sure can! Melted coconut oil works beautifully, and vegetable oil is fine in a pinch. The texture will be slightly more tender with oil, while butter gives that rich bakery taste I love. Either way, just keep it to 1/3 cup.

How do I prevent sinking chocolate chips?

Here's my foolproof trick: toss those chocolate chips with a teaspoon of flour before folding them in. The light coating helps them "stick" to the batter instead of sinking to the bottom. Works like a charm every time!

Can I add nuts to this recipe?

Oh yes - walnuts or pecans would be dreamy! Just chop them coarse and use about 1/2 cup along with (or instead of) the chocolate chips. Toasting them first brings out amazing flavor - 5 minutes at 350°F is perfect.

Why did my bread sink in the middle?

Usually this means it needed a few more minutes in the oven, or the baking soda might be old (check that expiration date!). Next time, test with a toothpick until it comes out with just a few moist crumbs - no wet batter.
