Double Chocolate Banana Bread

This picture shows 3 eggs and the recipe calls for 2 eggs.  I buy cage-free eggs from my neighbor and they vary in size so sometimes I use 2 small ones that count as 1 average size (just in case you wondered!)

After taking the picture above, I remembered that I had some bananas in the freezer – so I used these lovely things!!!

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/3 cup canola oil

Beat sugar, eggs and oil until combined.

1 1/4 mashed bananas (about 3)

1 tsp. vanilla

Beat in bananas and vanilla at low speed.

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

Beat in flour cocoa, baking soda and salt at low speed just until combined.

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used mini chocolate chips)

Stir in chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into pan.

Sprinkle some chocolate chips on top.

Bake 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Cool on a wire rack.
