This is the recipe that convinced me that it doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious. I found it one day while randomly surfing through Joy of Baking and I decided to try it. That was around 5 years ago. Since then this chocolate banana bread is a well-loved favourite at home and I make it every time I spot bananas in the house!
I suppose why I really like this recipe is because how simple it really is. No need to even wait for butter to soften because you have to melt it anyway. Here’s the recipe for it:
Ingredients
1 ¾ cup flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
100 gms white butter
2 eggs
3 bananas mashed
1 tsp vanilla essence
½ cup toasted walnuts, ½ cup white chocolate chips
Method
Grease a loaf tin and preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Melt the butter and let it cool. Add the mashed bananas, sugar, eggs and essence to the melted butter. Sieve flour with cocoa, baking powder and baking soda. Lightly fold in the dry ingredients into wet and until batter is thick and chunky. Fold in nuts and chocolate chips. Scrape batter into pan and bake for 30 to 35 mins. (You might have to split the batter into two loaf tins)
Tell me how goes when you make it!
