Chocolate Banana Bread
Nothing tops old-fashioned banana bread, except maybe this chocolate version! Each slice is studded with nuts. —Connie Deke, DeWitt, Nebraska

This bread is wonderful. I didn't find the cocoa overpowered the bananas. Maybe I had enough bananas in the mix. Or stronger ones. It is very moist. I was looking for a regular banana bread recipe. Saw the chocolate one and thought I'd try that. The first recipe I saw had an ingredient I didn't have on hand. This had everything I had. I'm really picky about anything I make. This was really good. I added chocolate chunks instead of nuts because my son does not like nuts. He really loves this. Not too much chocolate.
The cocoa overpowered any banana flavor. I was hoping for more banana flavor. Bread had a nice texture and I did add chocolate chips and nuts. I probably will not make again.

I ended up adding slightly more banana, just because I had a couple extra that needed to be used, some chopped freeze dried raspberries, and chopped toasted pecans. This turned out DELICIOUS!!!!! So good, that it was gone in one day.
The combination of chocolate and bananas works well here. This makes great gifts for the holidays!
Will make again and again. Added this to my recipe box.
This is an easy recipe and just enough chocolate. I left out the nuts.
This bread is a nice variation of a traditional banana bread. I love the chocolate flavor. I may try adding chocolate chips next time for more chocolate. I also left out the nuts.
Very good recipe, will definitely make again.
