A double chocolate banana bread that gets a double thumbs up from my chocoholic husband who thinks that chocolate is a food group.
Sour cream makes this nice and moist! Moist, but sturdy enough to pick it up to eat ! It has a strong chocolate and banana taste.
See the slideshow below for more pictures of some different times I’ve made it. Sometimes with walnuts, sometimes not! We love it with walnuts!
Enjoy!
