Chocolate Cocolate Chip Banana Bread

I absolutely hate to toss out my bananas when they have over-ripened....

I am always looking for new recipes to use them up.

This cake is so rich and chocolatey good...

the sour cream & bananas add to the moist texture and wonderful flavor!

I used this cocoa powder from my local Trader Joe's store!
