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.

Double chocolate banana bread from my favorite food blogger. I think you might know her? 😉
Oh man- what don’t I want this for?! First off, French onion soup & pie crusts- because both take a lot of patience to mark correctly (and I don’t have it!) so if the device could just do it for me, that’d be greeeeeeat 🙂 I’d also use it for many of my vegan creations- vegan cooking is delicious but takes a lot of chopping, steaming, sautéing…which creates a lot of dishes. Just have to wash one dish instead of 10? Sold.
I’d definitely make lots of Soups/stews in it.. as well as some desserts- I’d love to try your chocolate banana bread recipe in it
I can’t wait to try this!!! And angel food! I love that stuff but it can take so long to make!
Fun! I’d probably tackle something for breakfast like muffins or a quiche 🙂
I’d love to simplify Italian Lasagna!! It’s a family favorite, but ugh, the time involved! Adore your snapisode’s, as does my ten yr old daughter/sous chef! -Pam

Wow….that looks amazing. I must say I’m always a little sad when I bake and I don’t have a kitchen aid mixer. This all clad appliance would definitely help the tears. I would be stuffing that beauty with tons of goodies from cookie dough to soup to chili. So generous! Xo
Any sort of pureed soup or even hot dips would be awesome!
I would totally make this banana bread! What an amazing all clad must have, kitchen appliance!
Since I don’t have a stand mixer, it looks like it would help with my baking obsessions!!

Probably steaming veggies and this banana bread
Any yummy soups and stews!!
This is the first time that banana bread ever looked so good!!
I would learn to make more dishes! I’m a normal busy working girl and love to wind down on the weekends by cooking! Would be fun to make more things from scratch! Maybe some really yummy pies or fun appetizers! Maybe make some fresh pizza dough and use the processor for calzone ingredients?!
I know I should want to make steam veggies in it, but the idea of baking a pastry of some kind would be GENIUS! Like how is it possible? I must know.
I would like to simply my mom’s flan recipe!!
