Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :

• If I don't have maple sugar, can I use another type of sugar? Quite! If maple sugar is not available, you can substitute coconut sugar, brown sugar, or even honey. Each substitute will bring a different nuance of flavor 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.

• Can I use a different type of flour than the one mentioned? Yes, this recipe is quite flexible. You can opt for whole wheat flour for a more rustic touch, or even coconut flour for a gluten-free version. Remember to adjust liquid amounts if necessary, as different flours may absorb liquids differently.
