Double Chocolate Banana Bread

I have never made chocolate banana bread.  Have you?  I saw a recipe and knew it had potential. Chocolate and banana are a good combination and the bread met expectations.  

I found this recipe from a fellow food blogger.  I don't know her but I wish to say "thank you" to Alice for posting this recipe.

1/2 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Preheat over to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9×5 loaf pan, or 2 mini pans with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together. Stir in egg, mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla until well blended. Add flour, baking soda, and cocoa. Mix everything until well incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
