Cocoa Banana Bread with Chocolate Chunks

August 5, 2014 by ChiChi Dodoo 2 Comments

Delicious extra chocolatey banana bread made with cocoa powder and chocolate chunks.

Cocoa Banana Bread with Chocolate Chunks

Nothing beats a good banana bread. I have had it for breakfast, as a dessert, as a snack, any reason to have banana bread.  I classify eating banana bread as having one of 5 a day fruit and veg, lol. Once bananas in my house are overripe I make banana bread. This time around i gave my favorite banana bread recipe a sexy makeover by adding cocoa powder and chocolate chunks and what I got was a rich, moist, chocolatey banana bread.

Using extra ripe banana gives this banana bread an intense banana flavour. The addition of cocoa and chocolate chunks to the banana bread gives it a mild chocolate flavour.

The preparation of the batter for this banana bread is pretty uncomplicated.  A stand mixer is not even needed. A deep bowl and a rubber spatula should suffice.
