Meghan Markle's Banana Bread Secret

Meghan Markle's banana bread recipe is one of the most searched for recipes in the world right now. Her homemade banana bread, which she brought as a hostess gift to one of the stops on her Australia tour this month, is said to contain ginger and chocolate chips, and was a hit with the guests who got to try it. She is reported to have baked the bread herself at night in the kitchen of the Admiralty House in Sydney, Australia. The Admiralty house is the official residence of the Governor-General of Australia, and is where Harry and Meghan stayed during the first stop of their trip.

The Duchess has not shared her exact recipe (yet!), but Inside Edition asked me to appear on the show yesterday to bake this very similar Ginger and Chocolate Chip Banana Bread so that the producers could taste the royal combination themselves.

Passion Fruit & Dark Chocolate Tart

When I see passion fruit mentioned anywhere on a dessert or cocktail menu, I immediately order it.  The tart tropical fruit is my absolute favorite flavor and I try to enjoy it as often as possible.

The only problem is that way too many places get it wrong. They use artificial extracts, mute the bright sour flavor with too much sugar or other fruits like mango or commit other kinds of passion fruit-related crimes [aka a crime of passion fruit!] that leave me cranky and incredibly disappointed.

The only time I'm guaranteed to not be disappointed? When I make it myself, of course! Hence the many passion fruit recipes on this blog, and now...this beautiful Passion Fruit & Dark Chocolate Tart!
