The quick bread for chocolate lovers is here! This quick bread recipe is made with ripe bananas to give it tons of moisture. And, for it’s rich chocolatey flavour, cocoa and chocolate chips.
I am a big quick bread fan and this one has quickly become another favourite. It tastes like a fudgey, moist chocolate cake loaded with chocolate chips! Therefore, it is very kid friendly too.
How to Make Double Chocolate Banana Bread
Very easy to make, just follow the simple instructions below and you’ll be taking out a freshly made loaf in about an hour and 15 minutes from start to finish.
Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease a standard loaf pan and cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom.
In a medium bowl combine 1 and 1/4 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of cocoa, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
Mash 3 bananas in another bowl. Add 1/3 cup of melted butter or margarine and combine. I used my Kitchenaid stand mixer for this part. Stir in 3/4 cups of packed light brown sugar, 1 room temperature egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just incorporated. Stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
Pour batter in your prepared loaf pan and sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let cool completely in pan on wire rack before removing. Serve when cooled.

This is a really nice Double Chocolate Banana bread. If I make this again, I might add a teaspoon or two of coffee or cinnamon for depth. Overall really nice. I did add a bit of coarse sugar to the top for crunch. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome! Thanks so much for stopping by and trying my recipe 🙂 The coarse sugar is a great idea!
