Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Every time my mother in law visits, she brings this amazing banana bread with her.  I've made it a couple of times, and although I think it is good, it is never as delicious as when she makes it.  It could be because I'm one of those people who sometimes enjoys others' home cooking over my own.  Or, maybe it's because her special touch makes it that much better.  Whatever the case, this recipe is a keeper and will be enjoyed by my own immediate family for years to come.

I usually omit the walnuts since I don't typically have them on hand.  It's the chocolate chips in the recipe that really places this quick bread above the rest for me.
