You will make this banana bread every week for your breakfasts, brunches, and snacks!
Whether for a snack, dessert or breakfast, banana bread always pleases. It keeps well for several days in a cloth to preserve all its softness, but we assure you there won’t be a crumb left after the first serving… We love it slightly warm to fully enjoy the melt-in-the-mouth chocolate chips, but you can eat it cold without any issue. Consider adjusting the amount of sugar to your preferences, knowing that riper bananas are much sweeter than less ripe ones. So they naturally sweeten the cake!
This anti-waste recipe is going to become a staple at home, from breakfast to snack and through brunch. And you won’t have any reason to resist it, so indulgent and easy to make!
