I made this yesterday and it is heavenly. Not too sweet but rich and chocolatey. I think I want to marry it. How do you think it would work with a whole wheat flour?
Silvia Ribas says
That's fantastic Amy and thank you for your feedback! I am usually pretty successful with substituting the white flour for wheat flour, so my guess is that it will work just fine. Let me know if you end up making it again with wheat flour... big hugs 🙂
Shahana says
I would like to make this but would like to use only one pan. What size loaf pan would you recommend?
Thanks!
Silvia Ribas says
I recommend that you use a 9x5 instead, it's the perfect size. Let me know how your recipes comes out!
Deb Casey says
I wonder how this would be using coconut flour instead of wheat flour...to make it gluten free.
Silvia Ribas says
Hi Deb, its definitely worth a try. Based in my experience coconut flour requires more liquid content, so you will need to adjust accordingly. Let me know how it comes out!
Jules says
I'm wondering what to use if I do not have yogurt. Thanks!
Silvia Ribas says
Hi Jules! You can probably substitute for apple sauce and get the same results. Hope you like it!
Dev says
