My banana bread recipe has been a huge success, thank you to everyone that has pinned it, shared it, and made it. So… I thought I would make another banana bread recipe. This time it had to include chocolate, not once but two times.
This recipe is almost cake like so I’m not sure if it should be called banana bread or banana cake, or just plain good, hmmm? You be the judge. It is light and a little crumbly like a cake. I put this in the fridge and it stuck together better. I was able to eat it like a slice of bread. If you don’t put it in the fridge then you might want a fork.
This bread/cake you can eat for breakfast, dessert, snack. I stored it in a plastic bag on my counter for a day and then put it in the refrigerator. I liked it better cold.
I was going to put walnuts in the batter but I forgot (gotta love mommy brain!), so I decided to make a crumb topping. I think it worked, it added a bit of a crunch and lots of goodness.
