Plagued with a bunch of overripe bananas? Make this double chocolate banana bread with melty chocolate chunks.
By Heather Kinnaird
We had a few month stretch where I was hoping for overripe bananas to make banana bread, but I could not keep bananas around long enough. I love banana bread, especially bananas foster bread.…YUM 
So I started buying two bunches every time I went to the market, and my family decided that peaches are better for summer. Now I have nothing but overripe bananas on my counter, but that’s okay, because I have an excuse to make double chocolate banana bread.
Do you have a plethora of apples instead? Make this peanut butter and apple bread.
And now that you have this delicious loaf of banana bread, turn it into a decadent dessert and make a chocolate banana bread pudding with caramel sauce.
