dark chocolate banana loaf
Hola,
So I always loved baking and most recently I’ve loved making my dark chocolate and banana loaf. Ever had those bananas sitting in your kitchen just slowly going so brown and soft that you don’t wanna eat them?? Well this is perfect for this! Soft brown bananas make are the best for mashing them up and mixing them into the banana loaf mixture.
I’m also ngl I’m really not a fan of just eating banana on there own I don’t know if its the texture or something but can’t say I really enjoy them. However putting bananas into a banana instead is just perfect!
I’ve also added dark chocolate and pecans to my banana loaf and of course if you make this you can add any kind of chocolate and make it with or without pecans on top just whatever floats your boat!
