Bananas, Chocolate, and Peanut Butter... Need I Say More?

4/3/14

     Usually when I am in the mood to bake, I'll try and decide between some type of cake or bread. Many times I'll go with the bread recipe just because it seems like it's healthier (it's like breakfast food, right?)... even though it's not. It doesn't help that I will pour an entire bag of chocolate chips in either! I came across a banana bread recipe that looked extra chocolatey, moist, and just perfect. I even decided to use peanut butter chips in mine as well =0. Sorry for all of you who gave up sweets for lent, but at least you'll have something to look forward to after Easter!

Ingredients:
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Eggs
1 Cup Ripe Bananas
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Bag Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chips

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250F.
2. Beat together sugar and oil and then add eggs one at a time.
3. Mash up your bananas in a separate bowl and then add it to the mixture.
4. Once the bananas are well blended and there are minimal chunks, add the sour cream and vanilla.
5. Slowly add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.


6. Grease 2 baking loaf pans. Bake for 45-60 minutes until the top of the loaf is golden brown and firm to the touch. Check the inside with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean (My loaves took around 60 min).
7. Wait until the bread is completely cool to dive in so it doesn't fall apart while slicing. I know, it's hard to resist, warm bread is the best!
