CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

I usually bake on Sundays so that my husband and I have something sweet for the week. One of my husband's favorite dessert is Banana bread and I love making it because it's so simple and I always have the ingredients handy. So a couple of weeks ago while I was on Pinterest I found a recipe for chocolate banana bread and it looked soooo good that I knew I just had to try it. I made it that weekend and it was so delicious that it only lasted us like 2 days! (It goes great with a good cup of coffee)

The recipe is so simple you only need a couple of ingredients and I bet you already have them at home!

It's originally from Whisk and Knife but below you can find the recipe and steps to follow.

Ingredients

• 3-4 medium, over ripe bananas (I used 4 because I had 4, but 3 goes perfectly well)
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white caster sugar
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cup plain flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup plain yoghurt or milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste

Steps to Follow

1. Peel and mash bananas.
2. In a large bowl, combine sugars with oil.
3. Whisk in eggs, one at a time.
4. Add in the vanilla and whisk to combine.
5. Fold in mashed bananas.
6. Combine flour, cocoa powder and baking powder in a bowl.
7. Fold in half of the flour mixture, followed by half of the yogurt or milk.
8. Fold in the second half of flour and yogurt/milk.
9. Pour into a loaf tin and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 40-45 minutes until skewer inserted has no trace of wet batter. As the banana content is quite high, the skewer would not be completely clean but will definitely have sticky traces.
10. Cool and cut into generous slices!
