Chocolate Banana Bread (Eggless)

"Most of us miss out on life's big prizes.  The Pulitzer.  The Nobel. Oscars. Tonys. Emmys. But we are all eligible for life's small pleasures. A pat on the back. A kiss behind the ear. A four pound bass. A full moon. An empty parking space.  A crackling fire.  A great meal.  A glorious sunset. Hot soup.  Cold beer.  Don't fret about getting life's grand awards. Enjoy its tiny delights.  There are plenty for all of us." ~ Robin Sharma

Having a warm chocolate banana bread on a rainy day is one such simple joy I experienced. God!!! I want to make this again and again. My Son loves Chocolate in any form and he had this as a snack every other day. I am sure he will not let me make plain banana bread ever again.

I happened to see a Chocolate Banana Bread recipe on TV using dark chocolate. But I could not get hold of the right amount of ingredients. So, there began my search for an Eggless Chocolate Banana Bread using dark chocolate. I came across this version and tried it without eggs. I substituted the eggs with ½ cup of milk and made a few other changes and the results – yummy, moist, chocolatey!!!

If you are new to baking, you must try this recipe. It is pretty simple. The use of dark chocolate gives it a brownie like texture .The colour and texture is here for you to see.
