This week's Wednesday with Donna Hay recipe was chosen by Chaya. She selected banana hazelnut chocolate bread from Donna's online archives.
This bread is really delicious - it is deep and dark and moist, with a satisfying crunch from the hazelnuts.
I used as much banana mash as I could get from 2 bananas (which wasn't quite 2 cups) and I subbed dark chocolate for milk chocolate, and everything was fine. I really liked this and would make it again.
To see what Chaya, Kayte, Margaret and Sarah thought, visit their websites.
What a great looking banana bread loaf!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really delicious and versatile! :D
ReplyDeleteI really like this just by looking at it! What a great mix of flavours and far more exciting than standard banana bread (although I do like that too).
ReplyDeleteMark loved it (as you know, I'm not a chocolate fan but I love that I get to make something I know he will really like). The last piece went out the door this morning in his lunch...and he was a little disappointed that was going to be the last piece. Guess I will make something else today...probably something from your blog actually as I have several marked.
ReplyDeleteI am glad we did cake for a change of pace. Yours is getting me hungry. I used dark chocolate also. I don't use milk chocolate in baking.
ReplyDeleteCannot beat this type of quick bread. It was sooo good!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures - the texture looks really good. I think chocolate and hazelnut are one of the best sweet pairings. Adding banana can only make it better. Lovely.
