Hi guys! My name is Hetal and I have lifestyle blog called Pretty Polymath. Last month Nidhi did an awesome Winter to Spring Transition post for my blog. (I actually went out and bought the cardigan she had on in the post- its super cute!) I was excited to hear that she would love for me to do a guest post for her blog as well. I love baking and so I was pretty excited to get started on this recipe. 
I always end up buying way more bananas than I’ll need when I go to the grocery store. This leaves me with
gross brown bananas almost every month. Sometimes I freeze them and blend them into banana ice cream with peanut butter; other times I make them into yummy muffins. This time I made traditional banana bread with a twist. I love pairing chocolate with bananas, well, I love pairing anything with chocolate really. This bread is really nice and moist with a nice texture from the walnuts. It’s a quick and easy recipe and makes your kitchen smell amazing- try it out yourself!
