A quick and easy one bowl recipe that is a favorite of mine! Ingredients: 3 ripe bananas 1/3 cup melted butter 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 pumpkin pie spice* optional (or add a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove to your liking) 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder salt to taste (a pinch) 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (mini or regular) Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Melt butter in the microwave or stovetop and let cool slightly. 3. In a large mixing bowl, add the bananas and mash until mostly smooth. Add melted butter and stir until well combined. 4. Add the sugars, egg, vanilla, baking soda, pumpkin spices, cocoa powder, salt, and flour to the bowl and stir well until the batter is smooth. 5. Add in chocolate chips and pour batter into a greased or parchment lined loaf pan (can also use to make muffins). Top with a few additional chocolate chips. 6. Bake for 50 mins to an hour, until a toothpick comes out clean. 7. Cool before serving and enjoy!
