Brown Sugar Banana Bread
Spelt - Chocolate - Brown Sugar
This take on the classic banana bread is coming to you right from the recipe card box of my mother. And believe me, it is full of crowd-pleasing surprises. For the health gurus, she's replaced bleached, white flour and sugar with spelt flour and brown sugar. For the chocolate lovers, she's replaced walnuts with chocolate chips. And for those of us who just love a good banana bread, she's replaced the dry, bland loaves of the past with a decadent banana bread that stays rich and moist for as long as you can make it last!
