This Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is the best way to eat a banana! Moist cake, crunchy nuts and velvety chocolate all come together in this masterpiece, and it’s so simple to put together.
On a completely different not, believe it or not, but I have actually met people in this life time who do not like anything whatsoever to do with bananas. Their texture, their shape, their smell, their entire existence basically. It’s a little uncalled for, but who knows what banana-associated childhood trauma they encountered.
Maybe they were fed too much banana mash as a toddler, or tripped over the peel in front of their peers Tom and Jerry style and became the laughing stock of their school. Perhaps their parents never let them have any other dessert except bananas. While those may sound rather extreme, they could quite possibly be true. If not, then why the heck else would you not like bananas?!
It just so happens that I know one of these banana-hating freaks- that person is my boyfriend. Oh, and also his brother. No idea what happened in their family with bananas, nobody seemed to know when they were quizzed about this yellow monster, which all seems quite odd to me, but moving on…
