Banana, Cacao and Buckwheat Bread

Rupy’s love of dark chocolate inspired us to make a baked good incorporating both raw cacao powder and good quality dark chocolate. This chocolatey br...ead is delicious as is, but in The Doctor’s Kitchen studio we love to spread it with yoghurt and lightly drizzle it with some honey or maple syrup. Be sure to use the ripest bananas you can find - not only do they become sweeter as they ripen, they bring much-needed moisture to the bread. Using buckwheat flour means it is naturally gluten-free, if you or someone you are cooking for is gluten-intolerant.
