Cinna-Chocolaty Banana Bread

Oh yum. Today I threw together a VERY quick and easy banana bread. This whole thing takes 1 hour from start to cook. Plus, no extra lard added- just wholesome deleciousness (ok, minus the chocolate and sugar)

Cinnamony Chocolaty Banana Bread

3-4 very ripe bananas (the size doesn’t much matter; medium to large works)
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 large chocolate bar well chopped in to small pieces
For topping:
2 Tbsp. Coursely Chopped Cane Sugar
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Butter or spray an 8-inch square pan.In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas well with a fork or potato masher. Add the eggs, and stir well to combine.
  3. Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and vanilla, and stir to mix
  4. Add ¾ of the chocolate bar and stir briefly until just mixed
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and set aside.
  6. In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter in the pan, and top with the remaining chocolate
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
  8. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving
