Description

This banana bread is more like a brownie because it is so fudgy but still delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Devil's Food Cake Mix (517 Grams)
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
  • 1-¼ cup Very Ripe Mashed Banana, About 4 Medium
  • ¼ cups Milk, Any Dairy Milk Works
  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips (optional)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Butter a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.

Mix together all of the ingredients until there aren’t any dry mix traces remaining. A few lumps are OK, they will work themselves out.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Cover with tin foil. Bake for 40 minutes and then remove the foil. Continue baking for another 30 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a bit of batter.

Allow bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Move to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice with a serrated knife – the fudgy batter will still cling to the knife. Eat up.

* This bread is amazing when it is sliced with a serrated knife. Then wrap each piece in plastic wrap, throw in a freezer bag and allow it to freeze. They don’t freeze completely because the bread is so fudgy. It tastes great frozen or reheated in the toaster. Enjoy!

This is interesting. It is definitely chock full of chocolate and banana flavor, but fudgy to the point of “done” seeming unattainable. I likely won’t make it again, but it was fun to experiment with, not to mention EASY! Kudos to that!

I haven’t tried this recipe as is…I made a few changes…I added toasted pecans and toasted coconut, increased the milk to 1/3 cup and added 5 bananas (that I previously had frozen), and added white chocolate chips instead of the milk chocolate. I also used German chocolate cake mix instead of the Devil’s Food. It turned out very good and fudgy…
