Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :

• If I don't have maple sugar, can I use another type of sugar? Absolutely! If maple sugar isn't available, you can substitute coconut sugar, brown sugar, or even honey. Each substitute will bring a different flavor nuance to the bread.
• What type of chocolate is best for this recipe? We recommend using dark chocolate chips to contrast with the sweetness of the bananas, but milk chocolate will work just as well.
