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!

This post was brought to you by Graze.  All opinions and thoughts are my own.
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.

✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. W ✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. We’re leaving Tennessee and moving back. ✨

We felt a nudge about 6 months ago to start praying about moving back to Louisiana. So, pray we did! Lots and lots of it. I swore we’d never leave Franklin, so I was a bit confused as to why the Lord had put this on my heart. But I know that His plans are always better than our own. Month after month I softened to the idea and he started working out all the details. 

During spring break we made a trip to Louisiana to see Daniel’s parents and to drive around with a move in mind. We couldn’t find any homes that we loved, so we started looking at land. Long story short, this property is close to my in-laws and had been on the market for over a year. Over an acre on a lake that hadn’t been scooped up. We truly feel that God held it for us. Our vision for this land is dreamy. It will give us what we’ve wanted which is a bit of land that we could turn into our little oasis, it offers some privacy, and allows us to be close to family. 

We closed on the land two weeks ago, put our house here in TN on the market last Friday, accepted an offer on Monday, and started the details of our new home build. The boys will finish out school and then we’re heading back south in early July. It’s all happened fairly quickly but we know it’s what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re at peace with it all. It’s going to be very bittersweet to leave. We love Franklin/Nashville and our community here, but we’re excited about a new adventure and to be around family.
Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know I’m not alone. I love the taste but I’m not crazy about what it does for my teeth. ☕️😁

I’m not a fan of whitening strips at home because it always makes my teeth sensitive. I was so excited to get in with @nationsdentalstudio because they offer professional teeth whitening that’s quick. I was curious to see if I’d have the same experience in the office that I have at home Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. 

I was in and out with whiter teeth within an hour. I had minimal discomfort for the first 24 hours and only needed one session. This is definitely the easiest way to get your pearly whites even brighter! Ten out of ten in my book! Not to mention, this is the most chic dental office you’ll ever see. 😍

Mention “Southern Made Blog” when booking a teeth whitening session with @nationsdentalstudio and get $50 off!

I’m very thankful for this guy right here. We’ I’m very thankful for this guy right here. We’ve really been living the “for better or worse” and “through sickness and health” bit of our vows the past month.

We got back from Montana and a couple of weeks later I got pretty sick from Covid. He stepped up and was Mr Mom taking care of the boys, me, and everything in between. 

Then the next week he was in an accident.  A guy ran a red light and plowed into him. We gained a little perspective that day. We’re so grateful that God protected him and he came home to us that day. He’s had some issues due to the wreck and we’re praying for answers, direction, and healing. Prayer warrior friends, would y’all mind joining us?

One thing we’ve been reminded of through all of this is that we aren’t promised tomorrow. Be sure to tell your people that you love them and show that. Be intentional about memory making and spending time with the ones that matter. We’ve got to make the most of your days.
We’ve realized a few things during this incredib We’ve realized a few things during this incredible trip to Montana. 🏔

1️⃣ - Slowing down and soaking in the outdoors
is so good for the soul. 
2️⃣ - Not having cell service isn’t the worst thing in the
world. It’s actually kind of a blessing. 
3️⃣ - We want to travel A LOT more.
4️⃣ - We can handle freezing temps a lot better
than we thought. 🤣🥶

We aren’t promised tomorrow, so we should make the most out of every single day. Book the trip. Travel somewhere that takes your breath away. Make the memories. You’ll never regret it. 

Montana has been done that for us. We’ve continued to be blown away with its beauty. There’s adventure and peace at every turn. We’re leaving tomorrow with memories that will last a lifetime, many “firsts” with our sweet boys, and a itch to get back as soon as possible! 

I have tons of pictures and videos from the past week. I can’t wait to share more with y’all once I’m home and have more time. I’ll also be putting together a blog post with all the details, so stay tuned. 

Thank you, @yellowstonecountry, for this unforgettable trip! We’re so sad to leave Montana, but we will absolutely be back!
That’s it. We’re packing up and moving to Mont That’s it. We’re packing up and moving to Montana! 😍 🏔 

I’m kidding. Maybe. Really though, once you’ve been consumed with this level of beauty around every corner, it’s hard to go back to anything else. 

We drove over to West Yellowstone and had the time of our lives today on our snow coach tour. We got to see two states in one day…Montana and Wyoming! There were Buffalo up close and personal, wolves, eagles, and Old Faithful! I can’t wait to show you everything! 

I had zero phone service all day. It was peaceful and glorious. I took a million videos and photos that I can’t wait to share with y’all. Going to recharge and put some amazing videos together for y’all. This has been the trip of a lifetime! Thank you for that, @yellowstonecountry! Montana has my heart! 🤍
