Chocolate Banana Bread














Recipe
:
1 very ripe banana
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped (optional)
1/4 cups mini chocolate chips
1 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted

Changes
:
Used 1 1/2 bananas. Instead of lemon zest- put 1 tsp lemon juice. Made into 9 x 5 loaf- cooked for 33 minutes.

Review
:
Rating 9. The boys ate piece after piece. Very light, not a really dense bread- very tasty.

Next Time
:
Add double the chocolate chips and maybe 3x the chocolate swirl- enough to mix in with all the batter.
