Double Chocolate Banana Bread

This double chocolate banana bread is a decadent and ultra moist dark chocolate banana bread loaf studded with chocolate chips. Think more dessert than breakfast accessory, although I'd gladly eat it any time of day. Next time your bananas brown, use them to make a batch and freeze the extras for later (if you have any)!

Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350F.

  • Whisk in melted butter, add the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  • Place baking soda, salt, flour and cocoa powder in a sifter and sift over wet ingredients.
  • Stir dry and wet ingredients with a spoon until just combined do not over mix as you do not want to bread to be dry.
  • Stir in chocolate chunks or chips.
  • Pour mixture in to prepared pan.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick or skewer that should come out clean and may have a smear of the chocolate chips.
  • Remove from oven and cool on a cooling rack.
  • Let cool for in pan for 15 minutes, then remove from pan and serve warm or cool completely.
