Chocolate Banana Bread

by: Chef Corina

Description

Most probably think a banana is ONLY perfect when it has a bold yellow color all around, and that’s a big mistake! It’s important to note that a banana is perfect too EVEN when it starts to go soft and show its dark brown spotty freckles all around. Instead of tossing those bananas away, toss them into a bowl with several other ingredients, to get a delicious, perfectly sweet, moist, and full of flavor banana bread!

Banana bread is actually simple to make which is great considering how amazing it tastes, and if you’re looking for a recipe that goes the extra mile, you’ve just hit the jackpot. This recipe created by the talented Corina Muhhamad, includes Lekkco, the best chocolate in the world!

02 Sift in all the dry ingredients together and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
03 Pour about half of the batter into the baking dish and drizzle in 2 Tbsp of the Lekkco. Repeat using the rest of the batter and the rest of the Lekkco.
04 Bake for 50-55 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. To check for doneness, poke the center of the loaf with a clean wooden toothpick and if it comes out clean, the banana bread is done. Let cool, and enjoy. This bread is best served a day later.
