Absolutely delicious and decadent ! Me who doesn’t like banana once it’s bake, this was a absolute surprise. It has such a beautiful texture. And the banana is not as pronounced as on my nuts and banana bread! It has nothing to do with this ! This one is very much more lighter. And the chocolate goes very well with the banana with the little added of chocolate chips that bring that sweet bites to it! It’s stunning Just divine !
