Chocolate Banana Bread

MMMmmm right? I was in a baking mood today and had some mushy bananas so I decided to turn them into banana bread. I found a recipe for chocolate-banana  bread that I had been wanting to try, so I decided to bake that today. It was very yummy, although not exactly what I thought it would be. I was under the impression that it would be sweeter than it was.

This recipe doesn't take very long, and it doesn't have a whole lot of ingredients in it, so in my opinion it's worth the time. The only thing I plan to add the next time I make it is walnuts. I think it needs that crunch.

Here is the recipe if you would like to try it!

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar (to sprinkle)

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 9x5 inch bread loaf pan. Whisk flour, sugar cocoa, baking powder, and salt in large bowl.

2. Beat butter in large bowl at medium speed until lightened. Beat in chocolate, eggs, bananas, and vanilla at low speed. Sitr in flour mixture just until combined. Pour into pan.

3. Bake 55 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool 15 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

......Enjoy.....
Let me know what you thought...and whether or not you added walnuts or some other kind of nut.
