Are you ever in a rush to a party or small family gathering? Well, it happens to my family all the time! A loaf of banana chocolate bread will serve as a delicious addition to any dessert table. This recipe can be put together in about an hour! And for those with nut allergies it replaces nuts with tiny moresls of chocolate that perfectly blend in with the goodness of banana and moist bread.
