White Chocolate Banana Bread with Chia Seeds and Almonds

White Chocolate Banana Bread with Chia Seeds and Almonds

My banana bread baking has been a little obsessive of late.  I may of baked a couple of loaves every weekend for the pass month (oops), but everyone loves it and there are so many variations that you can make.

This weekend I made White Chocolate Banana Bread with Chia Seeds and Almonds.  I did leave the almonds off the loaf that I made for the boys to take to school.  The white chocolate added a lovely caramalised flavour and the chia seeds gave the loaf extra volume while the crunchy almonds on top finished it off just perfectly.

This is one you definitely need to add to your baking list.
