Double Chocolate Banana Bread

I used to be a banana bread purist. Bananas, nuts, that’s it. I wrote about it quite passionately when I first posted my classic banana bread (I’ll be updating this recipe soon). But then I had kids who ate bananas – until they didn’t eat bananas but I kept buying them over and over because they *might* ask for a banana.

So my counter gets over run with bananas

And we make a LOT of banana bread which means my kids have become expert banana mashers. Luckily, they eat banana bread better than they eat the actual banana. Kids. Eat yo’ food!

Since I make so many banana breads, I can’t just make the same banana bread every time. I mean, there are some days I make 4-5 breads in a day. Full sized breads, not minis. THAT’S A LOT OF BANANA BREAD. I’ve been experimenting with a bunch of fun banana bread flavors.

All of them have been hits. I have so many banana bread flavors to share, I might just have to start an eBook for them. Would anyone even be interested in that? Let me know, I might have to make it happen! Might take me 6 months to get it done, but sure – eBook for banana bread lovers.

Today’s version is a double chocolate banana bread. You leave out the chocolate chips and just call it a chocolate banana bread but why would you want to leave out the chocolate chips. They’re the best part! I like to add extra on the top to make it even prettier and chocolatier. Scrumptious.

Enjoy!

    I have been making your recipes for years always with your Nightshade free flour blend and my family loves your banana bread. A few days ago my daughter asked for a “chocolatey” baked good so I browsed through and found this one. My family DEVOURED this! I am the only one who is GF in my family but I barely got 2 pieces of this amazing loaf! This will be in our “regular” rotation of sweets!

  2. Alene says:

    I just found this recipe and made it last night, in the middle of all my Thanksgiving cooking. I had 3 bananas left that were one day from the trash. Oh my goodness! Delicious! I generally think of banana bread as a breakfast recipe, but this was just too sinful for breakfast. It is moist and very chocolatey. In case anyone is interested, I used Better Batter gluten free flour, and it was perfect. Thank you, I think, for this wonderful and easy recipe. Too good, almost!

    Egg substitute in the recipe..

    Love this banana bread! Gets ra v e reviews. Just wondering though, I’ve wanted to try with coconut milk but didn’t know if I should use from a can of carton. Guess that’s a stupid question but don’t have much experience with it, thanks, Linda

  5. eileen bowser says:

    i have a problem with mine having a gritty taste. what am i doing wrong?

  6. Carrie says:

    That looks amazing!!

  7. Laura says:

    Is there a specific gluten free flour you used? I know that different all purpose gluten free flours act differently.

  8. Erina says:

    Looks amazing! Is it possible to substitute the sugar with stevia and the brown sugar with palm sugar or something else? Can’t wait to try it!

    • Sharon says:

      Hi Erina – I don’t bake with stevia so I would not be able to answer that for you. You could definitely swap the brown sugar for coconut sugar though! You could even swap out all the sugar for brown sugar and add a tablespoon or two more of the milk.

  9. I love your idea to make an e-book…that would be a true celebration of all of your yummy breads.

  10. Kristina says:

    I DO have bananas that I will no longer eat as is (I am one of those weirdos who likes them almost green…). I think I know what I am making TODAY! yum

    • Sharon says:

      I like them barely ripe too. As soon as there’s one little spec of brown I let them sit until they’re ready for banana bread haha

  11. jennai says:

    I’m really excited about this recipe

  12. I’m always looking for new recipes to use up overripe bananas. This loaf looks perfect! I know my family would love it!

  13. Catherine says:

    Dear Sharon, This loaf looks so moist and delicious a great way to switch up banana bread, Looks wonderful dear. xo, Catherine

  14. I absolutely love banana bread but I have never seen or tried it with chocolate. This sounds amazing!
