If you have been following the blog from the beginning or if you follow me on instagram, you may have noticed I like to bake with bananas. I probably bake with them so often because they regularly end up super ripe on the kitchen counter and I don’t like to eat ripe bananas but also don’t want to throw them out.
This week I decided to change it up a little though and please my chocolate addiction by making a double chocolate banana bread! Double chocolate because it has both cocoa powder and chocolate chips π€
This bread doesn’t take long to make and will most likely satisfy your sweet tooth all week long. So go make it, and don’t forget to leave a comment below or share a picture on instagram with the tag @mapleetchocolat and/or use #mapleetchocolat π
