Books & Spoons Recipe DARK CHOCOLATY NUTTY BANANA BREAD

Holidays are coming and all the entertainment with it. It is time to start to plan and wonder what, where, and when. 
For brunch with friends and family or just weekend lazy breakfast because it is freezing cold outside and you want to cozy up at home, cuddled up with a blanket reading a good book with some tea and good cake... This recipe surely delivers!

I love this recipe because it is easy to get together, you don't need any fancy equipment to mix it, just a bowl and a spoon, and the taste is fabulous. I used Greek yogurt in it instead of natural and it gave nice depth to the flavor.
It can be made to many different things, but here is my favorite so far with bananas, hazelnuts, and dark chocolate. YUMMY! Hope you enjoy it!
​Till next time
