First things first, let’s just get one thing straight: eating chocolate for breakfast is perfectly acceptable when there’s fruit mixed in. Like this Double Chocolate Banana Bread. Totally breakfast food. Second thing: sometimes one type of chocolate just isn’t enough. For these special occasions, you’ve gotta go double or go home. Just trust me on this one.
Not sure what your freezer looks like, but mine is filled with frozen bananas. If you don’t freeze bananas that are slightly too ripe to eat, what the heck are you doing?! Throw ’em in the freezer for smoothies and banana bread. And then just add chocolate. x2. We’ve been over this already. Are you convinced yet?
Good.
Enjoy!
