Banana Chocolate Bread


I always use over riped bananas with freckles or black spots. Banana Cake or banana bread? Can't tell the difference. They all have the same ingredients except baking powder which is one ingredient for banana cake.

Chocolate Banana Bread
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup veg, oil
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt
1/2 cup Mix-ins: pecan, walnuts nuts, chocolate chips of your choice(optional)

Method:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350F (150C)
2. Beat sugar, eggs,and oil at medium speed until combined. Beat in mashed bananas and vanilla at low speed
3. In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa. baking soda and salt and beat into banana mixture at low speed just until well combined. You can add nuts if you want. Mix batter.
4. Spoon batter into a loaf pan.
5. Bake 1 hour or insert a toothpick to test if cooked. Remove from oven immediately. Cool on rack.

Happy Eating.
