Chocolate Malt Avocado Banana Bread

After finishing the batch of Avocado Honey Nestum Cookies, my girl has been nagging at me to bake her something else. Went to the supermarket, and they had TONS of very ripe avocados! Bought a couple and a bunch of bananas… Went home deciding on a chocolate banana bread, but as I was writing the recipe out, it seems like something is missing… because there isn’t any sugar used when I bake for my kids, I thought it would be a good idea to add something else to give it that extra oomph. So I added malt, Horlick actually… My home was filled with the wonderful aroma of bananas and malt while it was baking, it was absolutely heavenly! Girls had it for breakfast today and kept asking for more. Good sign! So glad that the girls are eating well, and enjoying it. 🙂
