First and foremost, good quality dark chocolate is what you need for this banana bread. I use Green & Black 70% velvet edition here. Secondly, you need mushy, overripe bananas. Both are key to the success of this delicious banana bread.

For the past year and a half banana bread has been on the weekly agenda for many people. It’s funny what lockdown turned us towards.

Hope you enjoy!
