Dark Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

My cooperating teacher during my high school student teaching brought in banana bread a couple of times to share with the math department.  This is the story of how I discovered the best banana bread ever!  Seriously, it is amazing! At the end of the year I asked her for her recipe because I just knew I could not live without this bread in my life.  She said that her secret was that she uses a TON of bananas.  Yep, that's it!  So, I've been saving up bad bananas in my freezer for a while now and last night I finally had enough to make the banana bread!

1. Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
