Cacao Nib Banana Bread

Spread the love

Cacao Nib Banana Bread | Southern Made Blog...This delicious banana bread is so easy to make and has quickly become a staple in our house. It's great for breakfast or a quick snack, and my kids love it!

Thank you to the brands and companies that help support Southern Made Blog. 

Something we always have an overabundance of in our house is bananas. Our family loves them and they’re a quick snack you can grab on the go that’s healthy.  I usually buy more than I need because overly ripe bananas mean yummy banana bread, which is perfect any time of the year.  It’s also great because you can throw in whatever you’d like to mix up the recipe. Not to mention, it’s super easy and my kids can help make it!

This bread is delicious and pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee for breakfast or makes a great snack during the day! I love all of the superfood snacks and ingredients Graze offers and this bag of cacao nibs are perfect for this recipe.  What’s great is they’re raw, high in fiber, less processed, and have no added sugar. My picky eating boys will eat this up and I feel much better about giving them food that is good for them.  This cacao nib banana bread is a staple for us throughout the year and makes a perfect gift during the holidays.Cacao Nib Banana Bread | Southern Made Blog...This delicious banana bread is so easy to make and has quickly become a staple in our house.

Twenty three years of loving this man and seventee Twenty three years of loving this man and seventeen years since we made it official in front of our family and friends. 

It’s pretty special when you get to spend your life with your best friend. He’s my strength when times are hard and my partner when times are worth celebrating. He’s my favorite person that I never want to be without. 

As I type this, I’m sitting on a soccer field watching our boys practice while you’re on the sidelines coaching. You always step up to coach them, not only sports but each day of their life. I knew you’d be an amazing dad but to see that come to fruition before my eyes has been incredible to watch. It’s just further proof that God answers prayers. 

This is the life I prayed for as a girl. I wanted to be a wife and a mom. The Lord gave that to me and far exceeded any vision I created of what my future could look like. I have the pleasure of living out that dream every single day. When I slow down and take a step back to look at what God has done in my life, my biggest blessings are my husband and our three boys. He’s been so good to me and I don’t know what I did to deserve it. 

Babe, you love me fiercely. You always make me feel like I’m the most beautiful girl in the room. You go above and beyond for our family. You still make my heart swell and give me butterflies after all these years. If anyone would’ve told me as a young teenager that I’d have a love story and life like ours, I wouldn’t have believed them. You are my dream come true. I love you will never be enough. Cheers to us for seventeen years and decades more to come! Happy Anniversary, my love!
🇲🇽 Mexico photo dump ☀️ We ran away to 🇲🇽 Mexico photo dump ☀️

We ran away to Mexico again this summer for a week. A tradition that I’m quickly coming to love. Except this time we brought some of our dear friends! We had the best time. 

We’re leaving a little more tan, decompressed, and rested than we we arrived.  Love this uninterrupted time with my handsome guy. Now to get home to our boys!!

✨Come along with me for a Chemical Peel with @_s ✨Come along with me for a Chemical Peel with @_sundayskin_ in Brentwood. Check out my stories for more details from @caroline.tingquist.np ✨

If you don’t know anything about chemical peels, you’re going to have some downtime after it due to the peeling. This was my first one and I was a little nervous if I’m being honest. 🙈 This particular peel was the most intense one that Sunday Skin offers. To my surprise, the process really wasn’t bad at all. It’s was pretty warm on my face immediately after but the fan helped tremendously. 

My top layer of skin definitely peeled but it wasn’t crazy. I wish y’all could have felt the skin on my face after it healed! 🙌🏼 😍 It was glowing and the texture was so much better. The benefits from this treatment are endless! I’ll forever praise microneedling and chemical peels because of how they transform my skin.

Nashville friends, you have to go check them out. Be sure to watch the “Sunday Skin” story highlight I’ve got saved with all the deets. 

✨Ok, ladies! I want to know what is your favorite skincare treatment you’ve ever had?✨
Before the chaos of summer and our move happened, Before the chaos of summer and our move happened, we escaped to Mexico for a little vaca just the two of us. 🏝☀️

What a great trip to start this new chapter of our lives. We had uninterrupted time for each other. I started reading again and made it through two books. We got some serious vitamin D and put our phones down. Quite frankly, it was glorious. 

Do y’all find that the longer you’re away from social media the harder it is to come back? Disconnecting feels sooooo good and it gives you perspective. So, if you haven’t seen me on here much… that’s why. 

It’s so easy to get caught up in the rat race of social media. Especially when you run it as a business and feel the pressure to try and jump through IG’s hoops to get in front of the people who actually follow you and want to see your content. It’s a mental game that’s not fun to play. I miss the days where you could post freely. Without hashtags or any other tactics to get your picture in friends’ feed. Without wondering if the time of day is good to hit publish. Without wondering if you’ll get the likes and comments because that’s what helps you get jobs. It’s exhausting. 
** My blogger friends will feel me deeply on this. 

BUT what I do love about modern technology and these apps is the connection it’s brought me. I’ve got friends all over the US and these things keep me connected. They let me feel like I’m still a part of their lives from afar. It’s also allowed me to “meet” so many of you sweet IG friends. I’ve really enjoyed that aspect of this community over my 7 years on this app. 

So if you follow me and happen to scroll across this today, thank you for being here.🤍 Truly. 

Say hi in the comments or shoot me a DM. Talking with y’all and building relationships has always been my favorite thing about this space!
One of my favorite family traditions is our beach One of my favorite family traditions is our beach trip every summer. I love to see the change in my sweet boys each year with these photos. Time is truly a thief. #santarosabeach #30a 

What’s your favorite summer tradition with your family?
