Choc Banana Bread
This is my kids favourite version of Banana Bread. When I make this I become the greatest mother ever.
Since I started making banana bread, bananas never get thrown out in our house. Simply freeze the peeled over ripe bananas (in their skins) until you feel like baking.
A very simple recipe with delicious results.
