A fruity AND chocolatey banana bread, perfect for breakfast or snacking!
It's been a while since I made a banana bread recipe, and this one was just what I needed. I've always loved pairing berries with bananas, and I've always loved berries and chocolate so to have them altogether creates a succulent, slightly sweet, bitter and creamy banana bread. I've used fresh and frozen raspberries in this recipe, they both work well and I prefer to use chocolate chunks instead of chips - you get more chocolate that way ;) and I wanted an intense good quality dark chocolate to cut through the sharpness of the raspberries. What's your favourite way to enjoy banana bread?? I personally love it fro breakfast, sometimes I even toast it, spread on some raspberry jam or butter and it's like a whole other recipe. I've also had it with a big spread of nut butter (preferably pip and nut), the slightly salty savoury aromas work perfect against the sweetness of the berries and chocolate.
