ZenBaking Chocolaty Banana Bread

Hi Friends,

While restrictions are starting to lift in some areas, most of us will continue to stay close to home for the foreseeable future. As we continue to adjust our evolving restrictions, practicing mindfulness through baking is a great outlet to manage anxiety. Baking requires our full attention forcing us put our phone down, roll up our sleeves and to get our hands dirty. The act not only provides a gratifying sensory experience but fulfills our need to create as well.

Incorporating Zenbev into your baking is easy! Its light chocolate and lemon flavours complement many recipes without overwhelming the palette.

For this recipe we used our Chocolate 750g bag.
