Chocolate Chip Banana Cake
Chocolate Chip Banana Cake
Oh my gosh don’t you just HATE it when….
bananas go ripe too fast?
By hate I really mean LOVE!
Because then you get to make this
I usually have trouble on where to file banana bread, is it a bread or cake?
Well not to worry on this one, I figured since there are chocolate chips in it, I’d call it cake.
You’re with me on this, right?
Last night on my counter sat 4 ripe bananas, not overly ripe and brown or anything, I don’t even like to touch those. Just nice and ripe and I just knew my oven was going to be happy it got some attention and my belly too.
That is why I work out you know. You do the same thing, right? Work out to be able to eat all the goodies.

Notes
So yes after my workout last nigh, I ate dinner. Then I made this and needed to be sure it was good, quality control and all, you know!
So it’s delicious really warm out of the oven, like really 2 minutes out of the oven. And of course I left plenty for everyone else this morning. But I’m not telling how many pieces are left. I just hope no one notices how many I ate, maybe they’ll think I had a few friends over!
Oh you squeezed some Nutella in this too. Looking wonderful!
I love the addition of Nutella! Good call. And I hate/love when my bananas ripen too fast too. Although it’s usually one that makes it that far, so I have a hard time finding a recipe that only calls for one ripe banana. #foodbloggerproblems
This looks so moist and chocolatey. And with the bananas, it’s totally cool to have this for breakfast, right? 馃檪
well I sure hope so 馃檪 that’s what my kids ate as they ran out the door, after all it has bananas in it. At least they ate something, some days they don’t, ugh! Teens 馃檪
I wish for all my bananas to good bad very quick from this day on! 馃槈
Eating goodies is what keeps me motivated to work out for sure! Love this yummy banana cake!!!
Yes! I love ripe bananas! 馃檪
This banana cake sounds fabulous!
I buy bananas SPECIFICALLY for baking. Don’t know why we don’t eat much bananas because we absolutely love them. I always end up buying a bunch, eating a couple, and then hog the rest for baking something lovely like this.
