Double Chocolate Banana Bread

Hey there, and happy Friday. Another week has gone by and it's one step closer to summer! I know, I'm really dreaming big here. Let's just get past winter before I start thinking about summer, right?

So, how do you like the title? There is nothing better than chocolate or bananas. Put the two together and you have magic people, plain and simple. I adapted my banana bread recipe into something that cannot be described, you need to make this so you can eat all of it. In one sitting.

Double Chocolate Banana Bread                                                                     

1 egg, beaten                                                                2 tbsp. melted butter

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan; set aside.

2. Combine flour, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl; mix well.

3. In a separate bowl mash the bananas until only a few lumps remain.
