Chocolate Banana Bread

 

On my way to 365 recipes in 365 days.  Here is recipe 43.

Quick breads are such a great afternoon treat.  And there are a million ways to make them.  I have made some really yummy fruit quick breads, and the Snickerdoodle Bread still remains as my favorite.  This Chocolate Banana Bread is coming in pretty close to the top. 

The chocolate flavor is very mild and this is a really moist bread.  My girls especially liked the frosting.  This was a perfect 3pm treat.
