I have been going ‘bananas’ over my banana bread. I have another beautiful installment in my obsession.
I was in bed one night when the idea popped in my head…Chocolate Banana Bread. I like chocolate but only enjoy it in small doses.
So when the thought came to me, it wasn’t about a gooey chocolate banana bread. It was more about the the right amount of chocolate to compliment the sweetness of the banana.
Well the results speak for itself because it became a runaway hit at work, so much that I sold 30 banana breads to my work family over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Its the easiest banana bread you’ll make but one of the most delicious bread you’ll ever eat. The addition of the dark chocolate hits the right spot.
From start to finish you’ll have Chocolate Banana Bread in under an hour.
This treat is delicious served warm with a cup of coffee or tea. Warming the bread activates the chocolate and will have you going back for more.
