Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This is a nice combination of banana and chocolate in a yummy bread. It's good enough for dessert, but will work nicely for breakfast or a snack.
Cream 2 cups of sugar (I used 1 cup sugar and 1 cup sucanat) and 2 sticks of butter. Beat in 4 eggs. Add 8 Tablespoons of milk and 3 smashed or pureed very ripe bananas.
Add 4 cups of flour (if using whole wheat or a combination of white and whole wheat add a tablespoon each of vital wheat gluten and dough enhancer), 1& 1/2 cups cocoa, 1& 1/2 cups chocolate chips, 1 Tablespoon each baking soda and baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
Mix until just blended and scrape into 3 greased bread pans. The dough will be thick and sticky.

My pans measure 8 1/2" by 4 3/4" by 2 1/2" (measured inside the pan), so if yours are much bigger, you may be able to use just 2 pans. Bake at 350 for 55 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Let sit in the pans and cool for about 15-20 minutes before loosening the sides and turning onto a plate.
If you can wait for it to cool, slice and serve as is or sprinkled with a bit of powdered sugar. Pour a cup of coffee and enjoy!
