Chocolate Banana Bread


I love chocolate.  I love bananas.  I love bread.  I'm still trying to figure out why this is the first time I've come across this bread since I love all the elements.

When I baked this over the weekend, I safely tucked this recipe in my book of "good ones" and saved it.  It is truly that good.  Very moist and full of banana and chocolate flavor.  See those bits of banana?  I even left it a little chunkier than I usually make my banana bread and I liked the results.

I did good.

Chocolate Banana Bread
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
2 bananas, mashed
1/4 c. honey
1 t. vanilla
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
2 T. cocoa
1 c. mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream together butter, eggs, sugar, bananas, honey, sour cream and vanilla.  Sift together remaining ingredients and mix just until incorporated.

Grease 2 loaf pans or 4 mini loaf pans and fill batter half way in the pan.  Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.



I made 4 mini loaves, kept two for us, and packed up two for a friend I saw over the weekend.  I hope she enjoyed!

I've got some yummy recipes coming up - Grilled Bruschetta and Beer Marinated Chicken.  Yeah, you heard me - Beer....Marinated....Chicken.  I saw the recipe the other day and immediately wrote it down.  I hope it tastes as good as it sounds!

Any new recipes you are trying out this week?
