This is one of those recipes that is stained with oil spots and cinnamon dust. I make it at least a couple of times each month and it is always gone within a day or two. It is the perfect way to use up bananas that are too ripe.

If you don’t want to add chocolate, feel free to remove it from the recipe. You could also make this bread with chopped walnuts or raisins. It is also perfectly delicious without chocolate, walnuts or raisins!

This recipe makes one large loaf or twelve muffins.

If you don’t have a stand mixer, mash the bananas with a fork and then proceed with the recipe using just a bowl and wooden spoon.

It is best eaten when still slightly warm. I like to eat mine with a little bit of butter spread on my slice – it is the perfect mix of sweet and salty.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
