Banana Chocolate Bread

Hello ‘dear’ S&SB bakers :0) It’s time to reveal our next challenge and it really is a lovely bake Maria has chosen, so I do hope you will pick up your wooden spoons and bowls and rush into the kitchen to bake..... Maria has presented us with a gorgeous recipe of Banana Chocolate Bread and just as our blog states it is a Sweet & Simple Bake – Tried and Trusted recipe.

“I know I can’t wait to get into the kitchen to bake this!! I always have ripe bananas lurking in my fruit bowl.”

I am posting on behalf of Maria this month as she has the dreaded flu which appears very prevalent at the moment in the U.K. I hope you will join with me in wishing for a speedy recovery for Maria and that she will be back with us here very soon!

The recipe can be found here
