Choc Banana Bread
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 1/2 oz unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup good-quality dark or milk chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 7 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pan.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Mix the butter, sugar, banana, eggs, vanilla extract and chocolate chips in a separate bowl. Add to the dry ingredients and stir to combine, being careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the bread is cooked when tested with a skewer. Leave to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
Serve in thick slices with butter. (The key words there are “thick” and “butter”.)

Darn this banana allergy. (Seriously, is that not weird? They make my mouth and throat itch and swell until I sound like I’m talking with my head stuck in a bowl of jello.)

The only good that can come from a non-crunchy ‘nana is banana bread! And chocolate banana bread, at that! YUM!!!
When you make this for me, go for the dark chocolate…See how presumptuous I am? When YOU make this for ME…Ha ha ha!

Kerflop: I have the same thing, but it doesn`t cause me problems when the bananas are cooked. I am going to have to try this recipe, Moose thanks!
Oh, and thank you very much! Now I`m coveting the sidebar thingy too. *sigh*

It takes a serious endorsement to prompt me to forgive a man for not using an apostrophe when he SURELY KNOWS BETTER.
But it’s in the mail, just because of you. See? You’re a life-changer.
