Time flies! It's been a month since I last posted. Between traveling, getting sick, and picking up a new client, the time has slipped away from me! But I have a few recipes I have to get out there, this delicious Double Chocolate Banana Bread being one of them!

I've been on a chocolate kick lately and this hit the spot! I was worried the chocolate might overpower the banana flavor, but I think I found the perfect ratio of chocolate to banana. This was super easy to make, and only required one bowl and a fork to mix all of the ingredients, plus it turned out ultra fluffy. Basically, I wish every recipe were this easy to make because maybe I wouldn't have take a month long baking hiatus. I'm going to try to make easier, quicker, recipes for my sake and yours. The complicated ones are fun, but they require a bit more planning, tools, and ingredients and I don't always have time for that! Maybe next I'll do a chocolate zucchini bread...still on that chocolate train of thought.
