Chocolate Banana Bread
I LOVE this recipe. It is really easy and it is great for getting rid of your bananas that are about to go bad.
Chocolate Banana Bread
adapted from Savory Sweet Life
1 stick of salted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbs cocoa powder (I used dark chocolate because that’s all I had and it was delicious)
1 cup flour
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
In a stand mixer or a bowl with a hand mixer cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Turn the mixer down and stir in the mashed banana, sour cream and vanilla until mixed together. Add the baking soda, cocoa powder and flour in and run the mixer on low to medium until it is mixed in. I ran my mixer for a couple of minutes at this point.
Pour in your chocolate chips and mix just until they are incorporated.
Pour your batter into the container of your choice. I’ve made large loafs and the little bars. It will also make 2 mini loaf pans or muffins. The sky’s the limit!
