Double Chocolate Banana Bread

Amount Per Serving
Calories 425

This bread is rich and chocolatey, but you'll still taste the banana! I use and recommend Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder in this recipe.

INGREDIENTS

½ cup butter, softened

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup white sugar

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 medium bananas, mashed - about 1 cup

¼ cup sour cream

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x5x3 loaf pan with non-stick spray.

Add the butter and sugars to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.

Beat in the egg, vanilla, banana, and sour cream.

Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan.

Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips and gently press them into the batter.

Bake for 70 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. If you under bake this, the center will sink upon cooling.

Let bread cool completely before cutting and serving.

PLEASE NOTE: I baked this bread in a ceramic loaf pan. If you're using a glass or metal pan, your baking times may vary. Keep an eye on the bread and check with a tester before removing from the oven.
