I tried Chrissy Teigen’s Banana Bundt Bread Recipe

For the first episode of my new YouTube series, we wanted to start things off with a bang... After writing down a few recipes from each category of my FOOD BUCKET LIST we ended up choosing this amazing recipe that’s been shared on my Twitter more times than we can count. 

Honestly, I’m just as surprised as you that it’s taken me a long time to make this recipe. This girl is legit obsessed with a slice of good banana bread! 

So you can watch the YouTube video at the end of this post to see how the baking process went but for me but here are my thoughts about the recipe and the whole experience:

One of her secret ingredients is vanilla pudding which I think is what sets her banana bread apart from others.

When I greased the Bundt pan I didn’t do the best job at it and there was a lot of oil dripping and some of the bread got stuck to the pan. 

Overall it is a great straightforward recipe that anyone should be able to make!

If you don’t link dark chocolate as much you could switch to milk chocolate and maybe use less sugar to balance things out.

If you watch my YouTube video then you can tell me if you think I did the recipe justice. 

I’m excited to cross this recipe off my FOOD BUCKET LIST and to keep it in my “make this again” folder.
