I love banana bread; it totally reminds me of my childhood…guessing there was a lot of over-ripe bananas in our household or something! Add a few nuts, some cacao nibs, (what isn’t better with chocolate? Seriously!) And then of course a little extra sweetness from the craisins. This was delicious slathered in butter, and when toasted, even better….it didn’t last until breakfast the next morning, but would be fantastic as a breakfast option. It does make 2 loaves, so thinking you should make sure you have plenty of people around to polish this off…not that you aren’t capable of doing it by yourself, but I don’t want to be responsible!
