Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add baking soda and baking powder to mashed bananas and stir. The bananas will become frothy.
  • Mix sugar and butter or oil in a separate bowl. (I always use oil and the bread turns out perfectly).
  • Add eggs one at a time and mix well.
  • Sift flour and salt together and add alternately with the 1/2 cup of water. (Add a little of the flour, then a little of the water, and repeat until each is used up).
  • Add the frothy bananas and mix well.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the batter and gently fold and swirl it into the batter.
  • Grease and flour a large (9x5) bread pan, or 4-5 small bread pans.
  • Pour the batter into pan(s) and bake at 350 degrees for 40-60 minutes for a large loaf, or about 30 minutes for the small loaves. After the minimum amount of time, insert a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. If not, cook for longer. The top crust should be nice and golden brown.
