Banana and Chocolate Chunks Loaf, sweet & satisfying
Banana and chocolate chunks loaf is one of the more indulgent tea-time treats. Most of these treats are refined-sugar free and may contain some ingredients I regard as heart-healty. Not this loaf. It’s made with butter, sugar and has chunks of milk chocolate. But it’s definitely a treat that is suited to tea-time or a coffee break.
