Banana Chocolate bread. Recipe

Banana Chocolate bread. Recipe

I'm not a fan of coffee but I do enjoy drinking a good Turkish coffee, a espresso or plain coffee and milk with pastries, cake, muffins and my favorite banana bread.


The Turkish coffee and the banana bread are a match made in heaven, since I have an insatiable sweet tooth I have to add chocolate or  nuts to the banana bread. Whenever we have "planned ahead" visits I make some banana bread, danish butter or cherry bulls-eye/occhi de bue cookies. More than often people would ask for my banana bread recipe, I dont think there is anything different from others recipes, but I will let you judge that:

Ingredients:

Banana Chocolate bread. Recipe


3  ripe bananas (if they are almost black better)
1/2  cup of butter
1  cup of brown sugar
2 Tbsp of  cocoa for baking
2 1/2  cups of flour
1 Tsp baking powder
1/2 cup of milk
3 eggs
1/2  tsp vanilla

Optional
1/2 up Chopped nuts/ raisins


Preparation.

Preheat the oven at 350F

Whisk the butter and the sugar together until you have a fluffy cream, add the eggs 1 by 1, slowly add the flour, cocoa and baking powder, keep whisking, add the milk, the vanilla and the raisins/nuts and mix everything. Mash the bananas thoroughly and add them to the mix. Blend well.

Pour the mixture on a 4x8  loaf pan  (or 3 small ones like I did). Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
