How To Make Double Chocolate Banana Bread
Making this amazing chocolate banana bread is as easy as it gets. It’s a one-bowl recipe, where everything gets dumped in one bowl and mixed. First mash the bananas with a fork in a bowl and add the liquid ingredients: oil, eggs and vanilla. Next, add the dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda – and mix. Finally, add the chocolate chips and mix. Pour the batter in a greased loaf pan, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top and bake in pre-heated 350F over for 50 minutes. That’s it! Anyone can make this chocolate banana bread, it’s a perfect recipe for beginning bakers!

To defrost, leave the ziploc bag on the counter overnight, and in the morning you will have a delicious slice of chocolate banana bread waiting for you for breakfast!

Made this for the family I nanny for and I’m having a hard time not eating it! Lol! Love this! Pinned it for remaking in the future and shared on Facebook!
I made this recipe, but instead of a full loaf of bread, I evenly decided the batter into 6 large muffin tins. Talk about Amazing! I didn’t want to share!
This has become a staple in our household. I’m pretty sure the kids conspire to leave the last 3 bananas so I “have to” make this recipe. I’ve substituted different chips and added flavors over the last couple years, and it’s all been fabulous!
The combination of dark chocolate and chocolate chips makes it incredibly rich and decadent
This is amazing!
