TWD : Cocoa-Nana Bread


Steph of Obsessed with Baking chose Cocoa-Nana Bread this week and in spite of all the things I made to it it came out very very (VERY) good !
I must say I'm a banana keeper, I don't throw away things with pleasure (Andrea is laughing), so when it comes to overripe bananas I peel them, put them in a plastic bag and stack them in the freezer. The problem is that I have so many now I should have a banana drawer !!
And Steph came to rescue me choosing a banana bread recipe that doesn't taste like bananas !
Because, of course, my kids do not like banana bread but love chocolate !
I read in the P&Q section of many TWDers who do not like chocolate and bananas but I urge you to try this bread It's deliciously moist thanks to the bananas 'but' the flavour is great !


This is what I'm doing instead of baking, is it getting better ?

  5. Your bread looks devine, and glad it was something your children would eat. Your craft project is lovely. I baked and sewed today because it was a public holiday and I had the time.

  6. Banana drawer? Made me laugh. Maybe because I have a gallon ziplock bag full of frozen overripe bananas.

    Your craft project is amazing.
