Do you remember the movie “Flatliners”? It’s from the 90s and one of the characters has one very memorable line… “Today is a good day to die”. Well… that movie has actually nothing to do with this delicious Death by Chocolate Banana Bread, but you can see the name implies you might die by chocolate when eating this banana bread. I know – makes no sense, but I needed an opening line for this blog post :P

“Death by chocolate” is a term that is being used for many bakes lately. Cakes, cupcakes, muffins and much more. Of course, you’re not going to die when eating those things, but they tend to have loads and loads of chocolate inside. So does the banana bread here. Which is actually a good thing. More is more and when it comes to chocolate ;P

That said – I recommend to serve a glass of milk with the banana bread. Not because the bread is dry or anything like that. It’s quite the opposite actually. You need the milk because of all that chocolate. Make some chocolate milk in your mouth ;P

Well… enough said. If you like chocolate and banana in combination and don’t mind it being a lot of chocolate – make that banana bread. You will love it! Oh and did I mention it’s done in no time at all? All you need is really nice ripe bananas – they are important for the flavor – same for all banana breads I guess ;)
