Chocolate Fondue Banana Bread Boat

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.
• Add in the oil, egg, sugar, and vanilla. Stir until combined.
• Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until just combined.
• Pour the banana bread batter into a greased loaf pan.
• Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• In a small saucepan, combine the cream, milk and chocolate, and melt over low heat.
• Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Remove from heat, and cover with a lid.
• Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then remove from the loaf pan and place on a serving dish.
• Using a knife cut a rectangle out of the top center of the loaf, leaving a 2- to 3-inch (5 cm to 7cm) perimeter of banana bread, making sure to not slice through the bread. Cut the rectangle into 2-inch (5-cm) slices. Gently pull out each slice one at a time. Press the crumbs into the base of the cut out bread.
• Reheat the chocolate if needed then pour the chocolate into the banana bread boat.
• Place sliced bananas, strawberries, and the inside of the banana bread around the fondue boat.
• Enjoy!
