  1. excellent! if you use soymilk, you can leave out the eggs. just use about a half cup instead of a quarter. (makes it vegan). very good recipe.
     
  2. This turned out very good, I threw some chocolate chips in as well to give another shot of chocolate. Baked it it 4 mini loaf pans and it worked out great.
     
  3. OK, I don't like banana bread and my sis in law doesn't like chocolate...but we both loved this! LOL. And I forgot to add the walnuts, which I definitely will do next time. Great recipe, with a nice blend of chocolate and banana without one overpowering the other. Thank you!
     
  4. This lovely, moist (but not overly so) quick bread was my 1st pick for my personal Best of 2016. We loved it & several guests have shared our opinion. This was a 2nd effort, but forgot to review my 1st. Used a loaf pan for the 1st try & a springform bundt pan for the 2nd. Both were equally wonderful. Made as written except that I did not use the nuts as DH is restricted by a special diet. Thx for sharing this recipe. It will be made often. :-)
     
  5. I used pecans instead of walnuts and had to bake it 55 minutes. Moist, great banana flavor, subtle chocolate flavor. Enjoyable breakfast or snack bread.

Tweaks

  1. Since my bananas were SO ripe (almost liquified!) I choose to use 1Tbs less sugar. It was still sweet enough for us (I tend not to like overly sweet food).

  3. I loved this bread. It was a nice change from the usual banana bread. There was just enough chocolate so as not to overpower the bananas, but to still give a nice flavor. I used butter instead of margarine and I used 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour and 3/4 cup of white flour. It turned out moist and flavorful. I will make this again. Thanks!
