Double Chocolate Banana Bread
This is an easy one bowl recipe, that results in a moist bread with a deep rich chocolatey flavor. This recipe can be made with all regular sugar, but for those searching for a lower sugar sweet tooth experience, you can substitute granulated erythritol monk fruit. We made it today using 1/2 regular sugar, 1/2 the sugar free blend, and it came out with a wonderful texture and flavor. Make it how you like it and enjoy!
