Description

Moist and rich double chocolate banana bread made with ripe bananas, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips. This delicious treat is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, combining classic banana bread flavors with a chocolatey twist.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Extras

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, sugar, melted butter (or oil), and egg. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.
  3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and cocoa powder.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread moist and tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter evenly, which adds delicious pockets of melted chocolate throughout the bread.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan. Place it in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.

Notes

  • For more even distribution of chocolate chips, use mini chocolate chips.
  • Store the banana bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
  • You can substitute oil for butter to make the bread dairy-free.
  • Ripe bananas with brown spots will yield the sweetest bread.
