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.

I am an obsessed baker and I would LOVE to win this #allclad Prep&Cook machine for both cooking and baking! I’ve just made your chocolate chip banana bread tonight right after I saw your snapchat story, and I would love to try it with #allclad Prep&Cook! I am super excited to use this to knead my dumpling dough and steam some handmade pork dumplings! Also definitely making a matcha bread(posted on my IG!) and slow cook pot roast! The possibilities are endless, and this will be the perfect machine to fit my needs❤️
Brownies because..duh
First, that thing is amazeballs. As if my love for all-clad couldn’t run deeper. I love making mashed cauliflower and the thought of not needing at least 2 or 3 contraptions to get the job done is . But let’s be real, I’ll probably make some chocolate chip banana bread.
Soups would be awesome!
I love to bake so maybe a homemade cupcakes or I could try your double chocolate banana bread recipe or some yummy muffins!!
Ahhh! This is amazing. I would love to make cookie dough…because let’s be realistic I end up eating more dough than cookies anyway 🙂
Chocolate chip cookies! And pizza dough? Can this do pizza dough I hope so

At first, I thought soup… like that tomato basil soup from a couple snapasodes ago. But then after thinking about it, I would probably look forward to making this dish called ‘icky chicken’ out of my La Piñata cookbook (best EVER). But the I wonder, can you make candy? Like the constant stirring/heat features could majorly help with making fudge, toffee, etc. Clearly I can’t decide and now I’ve just rambled off, but in summation, think I could make great use of it!
I would love to see the magic on soups & stews!
Christmas baking! Easter baking! All the baking!!! (Oh yeah, and pizza dough!)

Making baby food! My little one is 6 months and I’ve been steaming and pureeing lots of food and freezing it. Soups too!
Oh my goodness Gaby! You’ve gone and done it again – mind blown! I would love to use this beautiful machine to make baby food (steam and purée ) for my sweet little Hazel and pumpkin bread for me! Yum!
I would love to use it to a make a curry from your recipes!!

I would have to make banana bread first! When I was a little girl my great grandmother, who I am named after, made banana bread for me when I would visit. I’ve loved it ever since with chocolate or without:)
I feel like I’m supposed to say guacamole?! 😉 But I’d also love to try a bolognese or pot pie filling!

I would use it all the darn time! I would use it to make baby back ribs and since everyone mentioned cookie dough – I think that sounds amazing too… oh and pizza dough!

Wow being in the kitchen is about half my life! What fun the idea baking cookies for sure my old hand held mixer has kept me chained to the counter to long! Set me free All-Clad!
I would make pizza dough and tomato sauce. If there’s a way to speed up that final product then I’ll take it!
I’d use this for my favorite Banana Nut Bread recipe.
Genius idea so versatile. I would like to make some cinnamon buns, who doesn’t like cinnamon buns? I would like to also try some soups.
I love that you can do so much with it! I’d make vegetable soup for sure, but also alllll the baked goods!
The first thing that popped into my head was cheesecake… I think this nifty gadget would do wonders!
What is this sorcery?! This looks amazing. I’d love to make a big batch of meatballs with this. I like preparing some for right away and freeze the rest for quick, easy weeknight meals.
Also, it’s 6:50am and this pregnant momma is now craving this chocolate banana bread so badly right now….
This would make my tomato basil soup a breeze!
