Double Chocolate Chip Banana Bread!! Get ready – you guys are going to be obsessed.
We’ve been baking a LOT these days so let’s get down to business shall we. This double chocolate chip banana bread is fantastic. It’s made in 1 bowl, so super quick and easy. It’s moist and chocolate-y and works for breakfast, snacks and dessert. And it’s obviously stuffed with plenty of chocolate chips because that’s the only smart way to eat banana bread. Then it’s just into a loaf pan and into the oven for about an hour and voila! Easy right? It’s genius if you ask me.
It’s worth noting here (although it’s noted in the recipe) that it’s best to use SUPER ripe bananas for this recipe. So ripe that there are black spots all over the usually yellow banana peels. That means the bananas are going to be sweet and mushy and easy to incorporate into the banana bread.
If you don’t have overly ripe bananas, but you do have yellow bananas on hand, I like to pop them into the freezer for a day to turn them brown. Then just take them out, thaw them out and use for the banana bread as needed!

Double Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 4 overripe bananas I like to stick ripe bananas in the freezer and then let them thaw before making banana bread so I always have overripe bananas on hand
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon chocolate extract, vanilla extract works too
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with a nonstick baking spray.
- In a large stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar and whip for 2 minutes until combined. Add the egg, scraping down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is evenly combined. Add the extract and the bananas and mix for 30 seconds. The batter will look a little curdled, this is normal.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix for a few seconds until the flour is evenly combines. Add the chocolate chips and give it all a quick stir.
- Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before running a knife around the perimeter of the loaf pan and inverting the banana bread and transferring the loaf onto a cooling rack. Slice and serve as needed.

Ummm I just looked at the products page and it said that this thing can knead for you? And stir fry?? I’m sold. This seems like a lazy gals’ dream machine.
South African Durban Chicken Curry
Bread!!!
Wow this is amazing!!! I would make lemon bars with a shortbread crust.
Amazing! I’d use it to knead homemade doughs, or finally try my hand at ice cream making. ♥️
Such a neat gadget! With one of those I would make ALL THE SOUP!
Chili !!
This bread looks yummy. I could see using this appliance often for any type of soup!
I would love to have this device! I don’t have a bread maker so it would be so fun to try making breakfast breads especially. I’d also love to make my weekly soup/stews in this!
I love this idea!! I would cook lots of good stuff – hmmm.. quinoa salad , salsas , but I love the idea of banana , and pumpkin bread. I’m big into soups as well- carrot cashew, tomatoe bisque. This all clad prep makes it look easy!!
I’d use it for white bean and butternut squash soup!
Soup! In general I just don’t have time to make soup from scratch between my kids and work…so some sort of cheesy chicken tortilla soup would be AUHMAZING with this!
Double chocolate chip for sure! Never enough chocolate
Breads.
Actually, the same recipe. I make the double chocolate banana cake all the time for my husband and I. This would be incredible to have
I love anything that reduces prep time. The bread looks amazing. Top with fresh strawberries for a touch of Spring! Yum.
A food processor would make my roasted tomato soup so much easier.
Looks amazing for baking or anything dough-related! Kneading and whipping? My arms will be so grateful.

This is an amazing looking and must have kitchen addition! I would love to make black bean burgers without the sticky hands and beans flying everywhere!!
Oh this looks amazing! Soup and biscuits would be a DREAM with this!
What a cool tool!! I’d make so many different stews in here. I have a feeling Moroccan chicken in this bad boy would be scrumptious!
The prep & cook sounds amazing. It’s basically all the kitchen items I’m registering for in one tool. I have a ton of soups and baking I’d like to tackle with this.
Smoky salsa verde braised chicken for enchiladas!
This tool looks AMAZING-it would be so helpful in a small apartment kitchen after I graduate 🙂 The first thing that comes to mind that I’d make with the All-Clad Prep & Cook are kitchen sink cookies. I can imagine myself just throwing everything I can find in my pantry into the machine-M&M’s, dried fruit, chocolate…you name it!
So cool! I gotta try the coq au vin! Fingers crossed.
Definitely pie crust or my tomato basil marinara sauce!
I would probably simplify my pasta sauce! I mean….. it’s going to be tasting DELICIOUS!
I’m making banana bread today but switched to your yummy-sounding Double Chocolate Banana Bread recipe after the rave reviews.
I’d LOVE to win the awesome appliance and would make soups, stews and chowders non-stop.
This would be perfect for my spicy salsa!
My first thought was pureed soups but I’d probably try to move most of my home cooking into this amazing device.
This food processor would simplify all the desserts I have to make my husband and daughter, especially your coconut chocolate chip cookies!
Definitely this double choco chip banana bread!! Can’t wait to try this recipe!!
I have no idea what I would make first using this but probably a lots of hummus, pesto, salsa, whipped cream, and soups!
I’d love to make some butternut squash soup with this!
I would love to use this to make homemade cinnamon rolls!
Your avocado hocolate chip cookies!
I think this would be amazing for people that make 1-2 servings, like me! It would make marinara or Alfredo sauce super easy. And OMG like what about guacamole??!!! YASSSS!!!
Would love to try scones in this!
I would love to make some roasted red pepper tomato soup in this beauty
Your avocado chocolate chip cookies!
This would be an awesome space saver in my tiny kitchen 🙂
I would use this the most for soups or chili’s and baking of course !
Sauces! All the Sauces!
Uhhhh where would I begin??!? Soup? Cookie dough? Risotto?? What whattt! I’d probably never use another kitchen device again.
I just started among my own bread and this would help so much! Another favorite recipe of mine is making huge batches of fresh pesto!
There are sooo many recipes I can think of that I’ve thought either, ‘this would be soooo much easier with a food processor’ or ‘yeah… this isn’t happening without a food processor’. & I hate being limited that way! I would definitely love to make your chicken bolognese recipe that sounds amazing, for starters, or try my hand at soups and stews before the warm weather is officially here!
