Double Chocolate Banana Bread is a rich, moist quick bread packed with ripe bananas and deep chocolate flavor. Made with cocoa powder and studded with chocolate chips, this indulgent loaf is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  4. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and serve once fully cooled.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
