Recipe of the Week: Chocolate Banana Bread

Ripe bananas always equal banana bread in my book! I wanted to make something a little different then just plain jane bread, so threw some coco powder, sour cream and chocolate chips into the mix! Hope you enjoy the new recipe, next week will be cheesecake style so get ready for some rich deliciousness.


1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
6 medium super ripe bananas, mashed
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup unsweetened coco powder
1 cup sour cream
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease 2 9x5 loaf pans or 2 muffin pans. Cream together butter, sugar and eggs (one at a time) in a large mixing bowl. Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla. In a seperate bowl combine flour, baking soda,cinnamon, salt and coco until well combined. Slowly incooperate a little of the flour mixture at a time into banana batter. Blend in sour cream until well combined, then add chocolate chips & mix well.
