Chocolate Banana Nut Bread

• 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/3 cup sugar
• 6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa (heaping)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 2 large very ripe bananas
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (can substitute apple sauce - see note )
• 2 tbsp walnuts or nuts, crushed

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Grease/spray a loaf pan.
3. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt and baking powder.
4. In a small bowl mash bananas with fork or your preferred method.
5. Mix eggs and oil into bananas.
6. *Note* I have gotten the best results subbing 1/4 cup of the oil with applesauce.
7. So the recipe would use 1/4 oil & 1/4 applesauce if you would like to substitute.
8. Add banana mixture into flour mixture.
9. Stir until combined - do not over mix.
10. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
11. Sprinkle nuts on top.
