Double Chocolate Banana Bread

Ingredients for 2 loaves:

• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 stick unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• 3-4 ripe bananas
• 4 teaspoons of milk
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup chocolate chip or chunks, and a bit more for topping

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

In a mixing bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and whisk together making sure everything is blended, and there are no cocoa powder clumps. 

In a standing mixer, cream the sugar and butter for about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, and mix until combined. Add the milk and bananas and mix for another 30 seconds or so. Add the flour, cocoa and baking soda mixture and mix until for 30 seconds, until everything is mixed, scraping the side of the bowl, if necessary. Add the chips and stir by hand until everything in the bowl is blended. 

Spray 2 loaf pans with non stick spray. (I also line the pans with parchment paper.)  Divide the batter into the 2 loafs pans. Top each loaf with a tablespoon of chocolate chips. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until you can put a knife in the center and it comes out clean. Take them out of the oven and let cool, 15-30 min.
