Chocolate dipped banana bread

Ooohhh man, this recipe is good! One of my best friends, Erum, sent this recipe over from The Messy Cook asking if we would make it together one day- since it's her birthday I thought I'd whip up a big batch for her to enjoy without the work! If you like traditional banana bread and chocolate is your thing I highly recommend making this tasty treat!

I picked up this super cute silicone baking sheet last valentines day at williams sonoma, it made for really great '2 bite sized' treats!

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup softened butter

2 eggs

1 cup mashed bananas (2-4 bananas)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1/4 cups cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup semi sweet mini chocolate chips

1-2 loaf pans

Directions

Oven to 350. Lightly butter or spray a loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs one at a time, stirring well with each addition. Add the mashed bananas, sour cream and vanilla and stir until smooth.

In a separate bowl, sift or mix together flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and baking powder.

Add flour mix to the wet ingredients and just combine. Fold in chocolate chips.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until bread is firm to the touch and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool on a rack for 10 minutes before slicing.

Nutrition 

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. As you can see, I got a little um, creative with my packaging so I dont really know how many traditional servings it would be. I'm going to make an educated guess and say that you can probably do 2 loaf pans, with 8 servings each comfortably. So this nutrition section assumes 16 servings, and is representative of 1 serving- BUT be prepared to eat many more than one :0)
