Double Chocolate Pecan Banana Bread

We live just around the corner from the Junior High School that our kids attend. Almost daily we have a parade of kids visiting over their lunch break. There is almost always a steady supply of freshly baked banana bread on hand to feed the hungry teens.

After hundreds of loaves of banana bread we decided to experiment with a different version. This one incorporates cocoa in the batter as well as mixing in some toasted pecans and chocolate chips. I guess the empty plate means it was a big success. This moist loaf is definitely one to try. You have ripe bananas on your counter top already, right? 😉

There are also a couple of other delicious version here on Rock Recipes, including an incredibly flavourful recipe for Mango Spice Banana Bread.
