Chocolate Banana Bread
Last week I had a bunch of bananas that we forgot about that were about to go bad, so obviously I needed to make banana bread. But here’s the thing, I didn’t have any chocolate chips and I firmly believe you can’t make banana bread without chocolate chips. So, I thought maybe I could find a recipe for chocolate banana bread instead because I had cocoa powder on hand.
Brilliant idea.
It turned out wonderfully and was a little different texture than my normal banana bread. I definitely recommend it. (P.S. add chocolate chips though, if you have them.)
