What kind of chocolate do you use? They look bigger than chocolate chips and I would like to find them. Thank you!
Hi Kristen.
I use Callebaut chocolate.
If I want to make chocolate bread, can I make by using this recipe?
Could I just only use baking powder, but more of it to replace the baking soda?
This banana bread is really amazing! I changed the all purpose flour with 1/2 almond flour and 1/2 rise flour and the result is fantastic! The most delicious desert I tried! Thank you, Ella 🙂
Can we add yogurt? And white sugar instead of brown? Thanks.
