Did you Know February 23rd is National Banana Bread Day? In honor of it, I am reposting my favorite Banana Bread Recipe. Enjoy!
I love traditions. Fall always reminds me it is time to bake breads. One of my favorites is Banana bread. I have a recipe that has been passed down in our family for years by my Sister-in-law. It is so well known and loved in our family that it is known as Aunt Mary Jo’s Banana Bread.
The Bananas were sitting on the counter waiting to become overly ripe so I could make my Banana Bread. I received a nice surprise from Lindt Chocolates. A beautiful package with the most delicious chocolates, truffles and desserts. When I saw the Touch of Sea Salt Dark Chocolate, Black Currant Dark Chocolate and White Coconut Chocolate….I realized it was a Match Made in Heaven!
The funny thing is, our Wedding Favors were made by Lindt Chocolates. I have been in love with their Chocolate Creations for over 20 years.
Incorporating the Chocolates into the Banana Bread was a huge success. It was really hard to choose between the White Coconut Chocolate Banana Bread and the Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Banana Bread. They were both incredibly delicious! The Smooth White Coconut Chocolate was an amazing addition to the Banana Bread. But, we all agreed that the surprise of the Sea Salt in the Banana and Chocolate combination was to die for!

I eat currant jelly & bake scones with currants. Yum Yum! Your banana breads sound so delicious. Taking it up a notch from plain banana bread with the added chocolate flavors.
