Naturally I came across this particular
recipe again from Pinterest whilst scrolling through my feed as per my morning routine.
I find that Pinterest has become my recipe bible, in the sense I come across 99
percent of my baking/cooking inspirations from this particular app. If you're
not already on Pinterest then you might as well be living under a rock.
Previously I was an avid and religious follower of Martha Stewart recipes however
I found with time that they just became either too bland or too boring and so it
was time to delve into the unknown abyss of the "blogosphere" and
give other versions of the renown "Banana Bread" with a chocolaty
twist a go. The overall response from the several taste testers (i.e. my family) in regards to the taste was overwhelmingly
positive as a result making this recipe a keeper for life.
