Double Chocolate Banana Bread

I'm quick jotting this down so it's a recipe I don't forget! The original idea came from here, just so I'm giving credit where it's due. I really wanted to make that recipe, but also really didn't want to use butter, and only had two bananas. Here's my tweaked version!

Double Chocolate Banana Bread

Ingredients:

2 overripe bananas (mine were frozen)
1/w c. regular or Greek plain yogurt
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. flour
1/2 + 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 Tbsp. brewed coffee (just save a tiny bit from a leftover pot!)
1/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips -- reserve for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

If need be, thaw your bananas. If not, mash them.

"Cream" the yogurt, sugar, vanilla and salt. with a spoon or spatula. Add egg and mix well. Add bananas, remaining dry ingredients, and coffee. Mix well again until all dry ingredients are well incorporated and only a few tiny lumps of banana remain.

Pour batter into greased loaf pan.

Bake for 50-55 minutes, depending on your oven.

As the bread cools, press the chocolate chips into the top of the bread and allow them to slightly melt on top. :)

"Creaming" the sugar and yogurt.

What the complete batter looks like!

And finally, what I did with an extra slice this evening while watching Chopped with Hubby!! Chocolate chip ice cream and caramel sauce were the perfect, decadent complement! Highly recommend.

Slice and enjoy! <3
