Introduction
Chopped dark chocolate and toasted hazelnuts made their way into the loaves of double-chocolate hazelnut plantain/banana bread I put together. I didn't realize that the bag of black, banana-looking (and unlabelled) fruit was actually the starchy plantains and bananas, but it worked out well in this application anyway! Being so ripe they lent almost a pumpkiny note to the sweet cakes.
