It was good but next time I would add more cocoa...chocolate flavor was too light for me as well as the others who tasted it.

Wow! This unique twist on banana bread made my kitchen smell like a chocolate cake! I used 1/2 cup of Splenda blend, a little sour cream, a little low fat peanut butter, and omitted the nuts. I serve this bread for breakfast, but it would also make a nice dessert.

This is absolutely delicious. I used unsalted, chopped cashews for the nuts, and Fry's Cocoa. My first time batch rose even higher than the photo! I sieved the bananas to cut down on the potential for heaviness which plagues so many banana bread recipes. I scoffed a bit at the idea of 16 servings from one 9x5 loaf, but the cocoa packs such a powerful taste punch that one thinnish slice is a sufficient dessert with a nice cup of tea. The only complaint I had was from my 93-year-old mother-in-law who thought the banana flavour was overwhelmed by the cocoa. She is extremely fond of bananas, so next time I will make a more traditional banana bread for her. This is a real "keeper" recipe, and I can imagine using it for guest brunches.

Eliminated the nuts & added 1 cup of dark chocolate chips. Turned out perfect! Moist & flavorful!

Very yummy. I cut the sugar by almost half and it was still good. Some say it might be bland. Great way to hide the banana favor.

I love peanut butter and bananas. Instead of nuts I added chopped Reese's peanut butter cups. I also used buttermilk instead of regular milk. I can't explain to you how fantastic this is. Chocolate, peanut butter and bananas. This bread is dense but so moist. Love it Love it. Try the Reese's it is so good.

This is how I made it, I substituted cinnamon applesauce for the butter but left everything else the same! Lower fat and YUMMY! We nver have left overs and it is so moist you have to eat it quick. I have added cherry chips and butterscotch chips and called it Banana split bread!

Excellent! I used dark chocolate baking cocoa and had to use (fat free)buttermilk because my regular milk was bad :P but the results are AWESOME! Next time, I'm going to throw in some chocolate chips!

What a wonderful way to use up ripe bananas and satisfy a taste for chocolate. I will be making this again many times.
