Curated especially to get kids in the kitchen, try out this scrumptious and simple chocolate banana bread recipe.

Ingredients (serves 6)

1/4 cup olive oil
1/2-1 cup raw brown sugar
125ml SodaStream sparkling water
2 eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
2 ripe mashed bananas
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cacao powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C, grease and flour a baking tin. In a mixing bowl using hand eclectic mixer beat oil and sugar together until pale. Beat in sparkling water and eggs, adding one egg at a time. Add in sour cream and mashed bananas, beat until combined.
In a separate bowl sift together flour and baking powder. Add in cacao powder and mix until combined. Add dry ingredients into the batter and mix until just combined. Fold in a half of the cup of the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow 5 minutes to cool in the tin before removing. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Another great recipe for banana bread. Pity I can’t get any cacao where I live. Will just have to put recipe aside until I have to go shopping again.
