Better Late than Never
Chocolate Banana Bread
1 1/2 cups unsifted all purpose flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa 2/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 3 small) 2 eggs, beaten Confectioners' sugar (optional) Combine flour, coca, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add mashed bananas and eggs. Stir until just blended. Pour into greased and floured 9 1/4" X 5 1/4" X 2 3/4" loaf pan. Bake at 350 F for 50 to 55 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Variation: Fruited chocolate banana bread; add 1 cup raisins or finely chopped dried apricots to batter. The only thing I do differently from the official recipe, is add a full bag of chocolate chunks rather than using the suggestion of 1 cup from the fruited variation above.

Did you know that you can freeze bananas in their skins? Saves on plastic bags.
If you bake bananas in their skins, they're yummy with caramel sauce over the top. Just cut them down the middle and scoop the flesh straight out. Another fun thing is to poke a stick in them and dip them in chocolate then freeze them. They make great iceblocks.
