S’mores Banana Bread
Made using ingredients like real maple syrup, melted butter and Greek yogurt, this Banana Bread is decadent, fluffy and the best flavor combination!
I infuse the s’more flavor in a number of ways – by adding chocolate chips and marshmallow chunks to the batter directly, but also adding crushed graham crackers to the dry ingredients! This really enhances the flavor and texture of the bread itself.
Once you bake the bread, you can either leave it as is or top it with graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate chips. Both are delicious options, and served by itself still delivers on that classic s’more taste!
The toasty level is up to you, much like roasting marshmallows over an open fire! Some prefer them lightly toasted, some like them scorched, but be very careful to watch your banana bread closely when under the broiler. Just one minute toasts everything QUICK!
Allow the banana bread to cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving, as the marshmallows become quite sticky when melted!
