Chocolate Banana Bread with Hazelnuts

Banana Bread is my best bet to serve with this perfect recipe with spotty bananas. Even a single brown spot and nobody is willing to eat them in my house. So, I usually let them rest for one more day and develop some more sweetness and then they go into the making of Chocolate Banana Bread with Hazelnuts which is loved by all.  

See, now you know the trick. I usually add some nuts for the crunch and hazlenuts or walnuts are the preferred choice. If you don’t have these, go ahead and use any nuts of your choice.

You can even interest yourself with yet another flavourful bread called Banana Cinnamon Pecan Bread and have a treat.

Chocolate Banana Bread with Hazelnuts is indeed a toothsome, moist bake which tastes absolutely delicious with tea or coffee. Whenever I bake Chocolate Banana Bread with Hazelnuts, some of its slices gets packed and goes in my kiddo’s tiffin as well for his pack of friends and those little musketeers really like eating it very much!

Now you know what to do with all those over-ripe bananas. Use them instead for making Chocolate Banana Bread with Hazelnuts and have fun!
