banana, hazelnut and chocolate bread - WWDH
It is Donna Hay time again and I selected this week's recipe, this interesting bread. I have to be honest, I made this weeks ago and I have completely forgotten what it is like. I hope, I can find the photos. I hope the other bakers liked it. I will learn NOT to be so organized.
Check out the other Donna Hay cooks and see what they have made.

banana, hazelnut and chocolate bread (adapted)
- 125g butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups mashed banana
- ½ cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
- 1¾ cups plain (all-purpose) flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Place the butter, sugar and vanilla in an electric mixer and beat for 8–10 minutes or until pale and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Gradually add the eggs and beat well to combine. Add the banana, hazelnuts, chocolate, flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and golden syrup and stir to combine. Spoon the mixture into a 26cm x 11cm (2.5 litre-capacity) lightly greased loaf tin lined with baking paper. Bake for 70–75 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool in the tin for 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice to serve. Serves 6–8.

Hi Chaya, it was delicious - not your average banana bread.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a chocolate fan but Mark loved it! He ate three pieces the first day and then decided he had better slow it down a bit. That's a good recipe if he eats it like that! Yours looks pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt was VERY tasty. Thanks for picking this one. Love the mix of chocolate and banana.
ReplyDeleteI rarely bake with bananas and this is a bread (we call it here cake) I need to try.
ReplyDeleteI like the combination with hazelnut and chocolate :)
