Banana bread and brownie, is it really possible to mix the two? Taking a bite from this delicious chocolate banana bread I am enjoying the amazing taste of the too. I have made banana bread before but this recipe is a completely new invention. Yes, it has three eggs, but it also covers all requirements for a low-calorie, better-for-you creation. The batter is made from eggs, olive oil, coconut sugar, mashed bananas, almond flour, banana flour and cacao powder. But the real magic of the bread comes from adding Mocha extract and generously drizzling vegan chocolate on top. The texture is spongy and moist, and the taste – a wonderful sensation.
I love it when I can categorize things both breakfast and dessert. Chocolate, thick, moist, decadent dessert? Yes! Still a hearty bread that you can get away with having alongside your morning coffee? Yes! I’m sitting here now, forking deliciously chocolate bites into my mouth and it is an utter perfection!
