This Double Chocolate Banana Bread recipe is a super simple way to use up over ripe bananas. It is a great recipe to have up your sleeve if someone decides to call over at short notice. A slice of this with a cup of coffee will satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth.
Start by mixing the dry ingredients together. Mash two ripe bananas and add eggs, sugar and vanilla. Mix well and add butter before combining the banana mixture with the dry ingredients. Transfer the banana bread mixture to a loaf pan and bake for about an hour. Leave to cool before removing the bread from the pan. Serve thick slices and enjoy!
To make Double Chocolate Banana Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Grease and line a 9-inch loaf pan with butter and parchment paper. Press the paper into the loaf pan. Ensure the bottom and sides are covered and leave about an inch overhang on the long edges.
In a large bowl, mix 1¼ cups all-purpose flour, ½ a cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ a teaspoon of baking soda and ¼ teaspoon of salt until fully combined.
Mash 2 large bananas in a separate mixing bowl.
Add 2 large eggs, ½ a cup of granulated sugar, ½ a cup of packed light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the banana and mix well.
Whisk in half a cup of melted butter.
Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.
Transfer the chocolate banana bread mixture to the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cacao nibs on top. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Place the loaf tin on a wire rack and leave until almost completely cooled. Lift the loaf from the tin using the overhanging paper.
Serve large slices of this rich chocolate bread while it’s still slightly warm.
