Dee's Chocolate Banana Bread

Submitted by Dienia B.

"I made this up myself; it's pretty good. I make it in the food processor and just fold in the flour but you could use a mixer. I just like that the nuts are chopped finer with the food processor."

This worked out perfectly in my stand mixer with the paddle attachment. It rose really nicely, is moist and very chocolatey. I made 2 changes - 1) I cooked it for about 20 minutes longer than listed and 2) sprinkled some chopped walnuts on top as my one boy doesn't like nuts and could pick them off. Fabulous and easy bread that I will definitely make again. And again. And again!! Made for Went to the Market tag game. Thanks Dienia B.! :)

The taste of this bread was great, I would have liked it to rise a bit more, I will make it again and next time increase the baking soda and baking powder just slightly. Great banana bread, thanks dienia!...Kitten:)
