Extra Banana Chocolate Chunk Bread


 

'Extra’ means trying too hard, over the top, excessive, maybe a little dramatic. Doing more than what the situation calls for. Often a little inappropriate. Like, if someone’s laughing really hard at all your jokes, and it’s unnatural and too much, your jokes aren’t that funny, you might say, ‘He’s so extra.’

 

While this marvelously delicious banana chocolate bread is quite definitely 
“over the top,” I don’t believe it to be “too much.” In fact, it’s perfectly “EXTRA.”

 

It’s dense, gooey, thick, creamy, sweet, chewy, and all the good things we want in a banana chocolate treat. It’s “extra” delicious!




Extra Banana Chocolate Chunk Bread 

8 Tbs. butter (1 stick), melted
3 large ripe bananas
3 large eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chunks

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.


Combine the melted butter with the ripe bananas (peeled, of course). 

 

Mash well.


Whisk in the eggs and sugar, stirring until well combined.


Stir in the baking soda, vanilla, and salt.


Fold in the flour and chocolate.


The batter will be thick – halfway between cake and cookie dough.

 

Line a bread pan with parchment paper.

 

Transfer the dough to the pan and bake for about 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

 

Cool for several hours before slicing and serving.

 

 

I LOVE to slather fresh ground peanut butter on MY banana bread, especially with chocolate!!!
