Tyler Florence's Chocolate Banana Bread
I am a crazed collector of recipes that I never get around to trying and I have saved this recipe for quite sometime from a Cooking Pleasures magazine (originally from Tyler’s Ultimate). I broke from the mold today and I may never make regular banana bread again. It is heavenly. I love bananas and chocolate in my ice cream, so why wouldn’t I love this? I’m telling you that you’ve got to try it next time you have some really ripe bananas. Whenever I have ripe bananas and no time to bake, I peel them and put them in a freezer bag until I do. I would tell you more but I can’t stop eating this moist, delicious chocolate-banana bread!
Tyler Florence’s Chocolate-Banana Bread
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt

4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered Sugar

Yum, looks good! I’ve never made any of his recipes before but the other day I was watching his program and he made some beef tacos that looked to die for!
I am just like that too – I have a vast collection of recipes that I would need several life times to try them all! This one though seems like I need to follow your example and make too! Seems worth the effort to try to make this into a gluten free yummy!
