Chocolate Banana Bread

The banana bread saga continues.

The beginning of the pandemic was all about baking. I never had a sourdough starter, but I did hop on the banana bread train. Whenever I see spotty bananas, I take it as the universe telling me to bake something. You can make all sorts of things with ripe bananas (I have some recipes on my website), but sometimes you just need a traditional banana bread. I always put my own twist on things.

I made a few mini banana breads this time around. They are made with dark chocolate cherry spread, walnuts and lions mane. These are delectable and nourishing.
