If you are a fan of banana bread AND chocolate than this is the recipe for you!  Seriously delicious!  I found it on this site, which by the way I am currently in love with.  

 

 2 c. flour
¾ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
¼ c. butter, softened
1 ½ c. mashed ripe bananas (about 3-4 medium bananas)
2 eggs
1/3 c. plain lowfat yogurt or sour cream
½ c. chocolate chips

{Step 1} Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

{Step 2} Cream sugar and butter. Add bananas, eggs, and yogurt, beating until just blended. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat on low until just moistened.

{Step 3} Microwave chocolate chips in a medium bowl for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Add 1 c. batter to chocolate, stirring until well-combined. Spoon chocolate batter alternately with plain batter (so you have stripes of plain and chocolate batter) in an 8 ½” x 4 ½” loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Swirl batters with a knife.

{Step 4} Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes (give or take a little; I’d probably set your timer for 1 hour and 10 minutes to be safe) or until a knife comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan and then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

Check this out….you’re mouth is totally watering isn’t it?

I should add that I cooked mine in 4 mini bread loaves and it turned out fabulously well.  I cooked it a little less than the recommended time, about an hour.  It was a little harder to swirl it without mixing, but I really liked the idea of being able to pig out 4 times on 4 different loaves rather than just once.
