Chocolate Banana Bread

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups white sugar

4 eggs

6 medium bananas, mashed (about 3 cups)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup light sour cream

1 cup chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)

Optional ~ 1 cup more of chocolate chips to sprinkle on top of loaves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease the bottom of two 9x5 inch loaf pans.

2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, sugar and eggs. Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Sift in flour, baking soda and cocoa; mix well. Stir in sour cream and chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pans. If desired, sprinkle more chocolate chips evenly over the batter.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.

4. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing bread from pans. Remove and cool completely on wire racks covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep moist. Slice and enjoy!
