Moist Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is rich and slightly decadent, with cocoa powder and chocolate chips, more like a delicious dessert than your usual breakfast banana bread. I promise, you’ll love indulging in a slice for breakfast, a quick snack, or after any meal!

At the end of the week I always have a few bananas laying around. I have a few weird food rules and I do not like bananas that have any spots on the outside. I really only enjoy them if they are “just ripe,” so this actually happens pretty frequently.

Normally I make banana cake or plain banana bread. This weekend, I thought I would try a Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. It is delicious!

The bread is moist, and the addition of the chocolate and the chocolate chips makes it a little decadent and seem more like a dessert as opposed to a quick bread.

I hope you try this recipe! And if you do or have any other great recipes do let me know in your comments.
