Double Chocolate Chip banana bread

My most recent batch of banana bread! With the texture of a brownie, this one is a winner!

Personal Note

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°

  2. Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line with baking parchment

  3. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add the eggs with a little flour.

  4. Fold in the remaining flour, baking powder, bananas, milk, cocoa powder and chocolate chips.

  5. Pour the mixture into the tin & bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean - this recipe has certainly taken 45mins for me in the past, so it's important to keep an eye on it.

  6. Let the banana break cool in the tin for 10 minutes

  7. Mix the icing sugar with 2-3tsp of water for runny icing (or juice), then drizzle. Finally dust the top with some icing sugar.
