Courgette Banana Bread

Courgette Banana Bread with Dark Chocolate Chunks

This banana bread is wonderfully moist and tastes like it should be unhealthy, but it is jam packed with lots of great dense nutrition. So, it is perfect for a quick grab-and-go breakfast as it will keep you going until lunch. Or, enjoy as a snack to perk you up throughout the day. Enjoy as is, or I like mine toasted with lashings of peanut butter - a great post-workout treat.
