This double choc banana bread is so rich and yummy without being too overly sweet! It has my fave combo of chocolate and banana! Does anyone else love this combo?! The recipe uses extra virgin olive oil instead of butter for those heart healthy fats! The EVOO also makes the banana bread so moist and decadent and it’s all made in one mixing bowl... HELLA YES to less cleaning up. I love a bit of baking therapy and it's totally a ritual in our house now. Happy baking guys x
