I have learned that being creative with what the Lord gives us is key and a crucial part to being happy. Well, my daughter was in the mood for dessert and as I looked around there they were the bananas that were waiting to be eaten. I thought, I seem to make banana bread often this time I will try chocolate banana bread, “Why not?”
Ingredients:
3 bananas
4 tbs. butter
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
10 oz. package brownie mix
Topping:
2-3 tbs. butter – cut into small pieces
½ cup crumbled chocolate cookies
Dash of cinnamon
Preheat Oven 350 degrees:
In a mix master combine the eggs, butter and sugars and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and brownie mix. Slowly, add this to the mix master while on low.
In a small bowl combine the cookie crumbs, butter pieces and a dash of cinnamon. Crumble this with your fingers until small pieces are formed.
Butter two loaf pans and add the batter. Sprinkle the topping over the batter.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the toothpick test comes out clean.
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine

We always make banana bread when ours get too ripe. Never added chocolate though... Looks delicious.... Would pair perfectly with coffee in the morning.
