    What kind of chocolate do you use? They look bigger than chocolate chips and I would like to find them. Thank you!

    If I want to make chocolate bread, can I make by using this recipe?

  3. Hue Author says:

    Could I just only use baking powder, but more of it to replace the baking soda?

  4. Teodora Author says:

    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 🙂

  5. Can we add yogurt? And white sugar instead of brown? Thanks.
