Chocolate Banana Bread

This chocolate banana bread is a great alternative to your regular run-of-the-mill banana bread. we all love a loaf of good banana bread but this recipe just elevates it to the next level.

My family goes in and out of love with bananas. some weeks I can buy a bunch and they are gone within days, other weeks they sit in our fruit bowl and no one will go anywhere near them.

That’s why I love having a few banana recipes on hand. With the price of food these days I can’t imagine throwing away perfectly good bananas. when you can make something delicious with them.
