Dark Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread

Dark Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread | The Mother Cooker

Banana bread is a firm favourite in our house, but I've become a bit fed up of original banana bread. So I decided to try a chocolate version, one of the main adaptions being taking away sugar. I mainly do this for Evie, but she still hates chocolate so maybe it's just a habit now. Best part is, this chocolate version is just sweet enough that you don't miss it. Gooey bananas are key to a good banana bread, so leave them to go as brown as you can. I leave mine to the point where most people would have chucked them in the bin a long time ago. If you like to make a lot of banana bread, I totally suggest you invest in loaf tin liners, those bad boys save so much washing up.
