Notes

  1. Make sure you do not leave out the sour cream, it makes this moist!
  2. If you do not have sour cream you can use plain greek yogurt in it's place.
  3. This can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
  4. Use your favorite chocolate, semi-sweet, milk or dark. You can also use chocolate chunks.
  5. We use roughly 3 medium sized bananas in this recipe.
  6. Keep an eye out for burning, you may need to tent your pan, see instructions above.
  7. You can serve this warm or cooled, depending on your preference - it is easier to slice when cooled.
  8. Make sure ot not overmix the batter of the bread may become tough.
  9. Try not to open the oven while baking as it might make the center sink.
  10. Easily double this recipe to make 2 loaves.
