SafeSpace Chocolate Dandelion Banana Bread.

This Banana Bread is a super moist, healthy treat packed with chocolatey goodness! The extra-healthy bonus about this banana bread is that you’re also re-using your leftover dandelion tea (leaves/roots) - just rinse them really, really well and they’re ready to bake with! Dandelions contain beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant that can help protect your cells from damage - always a good thing for your health!
