One of my favorite things to eat during…well, anytime of the year is banana bread. It’s warm, moist and just seems to give you that “warm and fuzzy” feeling all over. To share that feeling with me, here’s a recipe that combines my love of banana bread with my love of chocolate! Yes!
Prep Time:15 mins
Cook Time:45 – 50 mins
Ingredients:
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1? cups mashed banana
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a9X5-inch loaf pan. Then…
In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until fluffy. With mixer on low speed, add eggs one at a time and then beat in bananas and vanilla extract.
Add flour mixture and stir until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
For glaze, in a small saucepan heat half-and-half and brown sugar until sugar dissolves and it just starts to simmer. Stir in butter and vanilla extract. Add chocolate chips, remove from heat, and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Let glaze cool slightly and then drizzle on cooled bread
