Whenever the snow starts to fall, I start craving breads and stews and curries. But the number one thing I seem to dream about?? BANANA BREAD. Why? Because it's freaking delicious and comforting, is why.
A good banana bread can really make a snowy morning complete (especially when paired with a frothy collagen coffee. OMG YUM)
And because I'm your health-conscious friend who likes to eat vegetables and have my chocolate too, I created this dark chocolate banana zucchini bread recipe so we could enjoy the best of both worlds!
Life is short. And when we eat awesome food, it makes that short amount of time that much more enjoyable. As always, tag me on social if you make the recipe! I love connecting with you! @mariebarkerwellness
