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.

This looks amazing! I would love to make some bread in it!
I would use the prep and cook to make my black bean brownies! I usually have to use a separate food processor to purée and mix the beans with coconut oil, but this machine would eliminate the extra appliance. Looks so useful across a variety of meals!
I’d love to use it for soups or sauces! Veggie soup or hummus probably!
It’d be PER-FECT for pizza or cakes’ dough!!! Need it in my life ASAP!!
❤️ my entire All-Clad cookware collection, so this nifty number would be the icing on the cake! I’d love to try out a RISOTTO!
In India we make a wheat stew with meat called Haleem. I would use this to make a tasty flavorful haleem! Thanks for telling us about this gadget!
I would love it for tomato sauce/soup! Such a neat kitchen tool!
I would love this for making homemade soups!! And for trying out new baking recipes, especially this banana bread!!
All of the SOUP!!
Looks awesome, I would definitely prepare some nice does for bread or sweet stuff with chocolate
This looks awesome! I’d love to make my moms spaghetti sauce in this or I love to bake…bread dough or cookie dough!
This looks amazing! Would love to use to make some bolognese or stuffed peppers!
This is amazing – thanks so much for holding this giveaway! I would use the Prep & Cook to simplify making risotto!
Definitely make baking anything easier! I love baking zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, banana bread, carrot cake and energy balls!
What would I not use it for? This would be awesome.
I’m a big time baker so probably my cakes! But I can also see it helping with savory dishes as well. I’d love to mix a quiche or soup in it!
About to move to a shoebox sized apartment in NYC and cant think of a better appliance to have!! Would cut down the time of so many soups, including my favorite artichoke lemon soup.
This would make ALL the sauces super easy. Would love this for chilis, salsas, tomato sauces, dressings, dips, bisque. My husband is the condiment/sauce/dip king so something that will allow me to make some fresher variations of his favorite will probably be healthier!
I would love for you to make something that requires chopping veggies, sautéing, and then cooking; maybe a pot pie?
I’d make a big batch of chicken curry out of this!
I’d use it for my signature chocolate chip cookies!
Hmmm. So many things to choose from. But I’ll just list my top five.
Sauce
Bread
Risotto (so much stirring )
Soups and stews
Pastry dough
I would use this to make my grandma’s albondigas, Mexican meatball soup. I could is this All-in-one to mix the meat and spices, to mix the broth, and then to simmer everything together for the finished product. It would be a one pot version of a beloved family meal.
I would love this to increase my pasta sauce game!
this is awesome!
This is amazing! Carrot cake is currently on my mind!!
All Clad is getting so fancy with the rose gold accents! LOVE it. And love how their products are built to last. This would simplify so many recipes — love the idea of having to clean fewer dishes. Great for soups, bars, bread, etc!
this looks seriously fabulous! i cook at least one or two pasta dishes a week for my boys and the sauces would be so easy in this! also, when my daughter is home from college, she loves soups, especially your chicken tortilla! again, so perfect for this and can you make guacamole in it?? if so, i’m in!!!
Hot dang, I’d use the crap out of this. Especially for pizza dough. Kneading pizza dough is the bane of my existence.
This would be perfect & unbelievably helpful for Whole30 meal prep & for making my salsa which I live on all Summer!
A spread of all natural peanut butter on that bread would be amazing.
Whipping up this recipe as I type..
my poor ailing man is going to feel better after eating this banana bread..
I would love to use this fancy new toy for making soups for my man.
I need this for my tiny kitchen which is now overrun with so many appliances. I could use this for so many things but chicken tortilla soup is what is coming to mind at the moment!
I would LOVE this appliance. It would simplify my green Pozole with cod and cilantro. For such a delicious recipe, it is annoying to have to clean so many gadgets and transfer everything from the stove to the blender and back to the stove. Not to mention, all of the clean up afterwards. 🙁 Which is why it is so fantastic that the Prep&Cook is DISHWASHER SAFE!
The All Clad Prep & Cook would also inspire me to make things I didn’t think I would be able to make on my own with the current kitchen appliances I have. In addition, i’ll be able to get rid of many of my current appliances that take up so much room like my slow cooker and my snow cone maker. Get ready for yellow curries and red lentil soups, and extra chocolaty salted caramel brownies!
Any kind of bread, salsa chicken quinoa, spaghetti and meatballs, etc!!
Any batter or salsa
I would definitely use this to make chili!! What a cool product!!
This looks delicious! I’m an up and coming newbie to the cooking world. 20 y.o business student at university, cooking is my #1 hobby. I would love to win this to try new recipes!
Aaaallllll the baked goods! Did you say it’s a food processor too? Can it make your favorite basil vinaigrette?? I’m thinking a nice batch of white bean dip or maybe some falafel too!
Need this for my kitchen! Love all the recipe ideas on this thread!
I would love to use this for making enchilada filling! And ground turkey curry! Looks like it’ll be such a time saver. Best thing for a kitchen!
Pretty sure I would use it to make this banana bread ASAP!
Pretty sure I would need to use it to make this banana bread ASAP!
I’ve always been super intimidated by making bread at home but have always been curious to try it. Having the All-Cla Prep&cook help me overcome my fear would be a dream come true! Plus my bun in the oven (baby #1) has been craving lots of bread, so it would be fantastic to feed him some homemade/made-by-mom bread 🙂
I made this recipe gluten free! It was so amazing. A multitasking cooker would be perfect for any meal especially since I am a nurse and always look for easy one-step recipes, but baking desserts is always my favorite!
Definitely lots of soups! Also, I just might need to try out that double chocolate chip banana bread! Looks AMAZING!
I basically live on soups during the winter. I would use this all the time! Talk about saving some much needed time.
Slow cooker white chocolate bread pudding, of course!
First this banana bread and then a yummy bolognese sauce!! thanks Gaby!
This thing is rad! It would definitely make me want to cook more, but I’d love to try it first with french onion soup or a yummy cheesecake!
