Chocolate Banana Bread

The original recipe for this lovely bread comes from a Kraft Canada flyer. I improvised with what I had available, switching out a few items and adding baking powder and vanilla. It's a win - win situation with chocolate and banana. I love the density and moistness of this loaf!

Ingredients:

1 egg
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 bananas, mashed
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp baking cocoa

Method:

Beat egg, mayonnaise and mashed bananas in bowl, using a whisk, until well blended. Add vanilla.
In separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. then stir into wet ingredients.
Spoon half (or slightly over half) of the batter into prepared 8x4 inch loaf pan.
Sift cocoa into the batter left in the bowl, stir and drop by spoonfuls onto white batter.
Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, before removing to wire rack.

Idea: Cut into thick slices (10), wrap and freeze for individual snacks to go with "someone's" drink at the drive through.
