I found THIS recipe on Pinterest via Evil Shenanigans and figured I’d give it a shot. When I say give it a shot, I barely measure correctly and just wing it. I’m not a fan of rules or specifics, so mine may have a little more nutmeg, less banana, definitely more chocolate chips, but whatever happened it worked.
Little fun fact about me, I hate bananas the second they are fully yellow and start to develop a single brown freckle. Something about an over ripe banana makes me want to throw up. But what doesn’t make me throw up ever, is a super ripe banana, mashed up, with chocolate, and then baked into a fabulous decadent bread.
In an effort to not eat the whole thing (because this is something I could definitely do in about 2 days flat on my own if not sooner) I was super generous and gave a third to my sister and the other third to my Mom for her to serve up to her Mahjong friends.
