Dark Chocolate Banana Bread — from The Mothercooker

October 25, 2018 by Danielle Leave a Comment

Yes you read that right, dark chocolate banana bread! Can I get an Amen?! This bread is so delicious and decadent that you wont even MISS the refined sugar. Naturally sweetened, this banana bread tastes good and allows you to eat more than one piece. 😛

Now, I cant take credit for this original idea — Gem over at themothercooker.com is the originator of this recipe and thank goodness it exists! You definitely need to head over and check her out — tons of great recipes and kitchen ideas that are easy to whip up!

Now this recipe (since Gem lives in the UK) is one of the first recipes’ where I’ve had to weigh ingredients. I mean, lets be honest, we don’t really weigh things in America — we use other measurements! So I’ve converted her recipe for all us “yanks”. I was actually excited to weigh ingredients — its a much more precise way of baking — mostly because I’ve been obsessively watching the Great British Baking Show on Netflix. Have you seen it? If you haven’t you totally should. Addicting to the max, let me tell you.

So since I was already in the British mindset — here I am ready to weigh all my ingredients from now on. 😛 JK…I think I’ll stick to my cup measures, but it is always nice to have a scale around just in case. 🙂 Now go get yourself a slice of this heaven.

Happy Baking!

XO,

Danielle
