Chocolate Banana Bread

Bananas are my favorite fruit.  I have come to understand that’s a somewhat controversial opinion, but I own it.  And chocolate, well…chocolate is chocolate.

Together they’re awesome!

And sometimes together they’re breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • ½ cup butter, brought to room temperature
  • 2 eggs, brought to room temperature
  • 3 t vanilla
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups flour
  • ½ cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1 ¼ t baking soda
  • ¼ t salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, separated

Directions

Spray or butter and flour a loaf tin and set it aside.IMG_8671

Put the bananas in a large bowl add mash them.  Add in the butter, eggs, vanilla and brown sugar, and mix until well combined.  Set that aside, too.

In a smaller bowl add the flour, cocoa powder baking soda and salt and whisk until well combined.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to your banana mixture, mixing as you go until everything is well combined.IMG_8672

Add in ¾ cup of the chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon until they’re evenly distributed in the batter.IMG_8675

Pour your batter into your prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup chips evenly along the top.IMG_8677

Bake at 350 for about 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out dry.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.IMG_8678

Slice into slices, serve and enjoy!  And remember, since there are bananas in here this counts as healthy.IMG_8683
