Best Ever Chocolate Banana Bread

 Chocolate Banana Bread29
This chocolate banana bread is the bombdotcom! My wonderful friend and next door neighbor, Katie,  has treated me to this wonderful bread a couple times, most recently as a treat for my birthday and it was the perfect snack on my road trip to SLC. I begged her for the recipe and made it for myself. I looooove it and since it has bananas in it, I can totally have it for breakfast, right?
I hope you love it as much as I do! It is the perfect combination of creamy smooth bananas and a punch of chocolate chips. yum!

Chocolate Banana Bread

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 1/4 cup banana (about 3)

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease loaf pan.
Combine sugar, eggs, oil, banana, and vanilla and mix (I used my hand mixer – this got the banana nice and smooth). Add the rest of the ingredients until and mix together until just combined.
Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 60 – 70 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes then remove from pan and continue to cool on rack.
Enjoy!

    1. Yes, I'm not much of a baker so if it was simple for me, then most anyone can do it. And it's very good!
