Chocolate Banana Bread
I first baked this Chocolate Banana Bread on a rainy afternoon with overripe bananas and a craving for something chocolatey. The result? A rich, moist loaf that tastes like dessert but feels like comfort. With the natural sweetness of bananas and pockets of melty chocolate in every slice, it’s perfect for breakfast, snacking, or cozy evenings with tea. One loaf never seems to last long in our house!

Ingredients
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large)
½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
2 large eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk mashed bananas, oil, eggs, sugars, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir dry ingredients into the wet just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the pan, sprinkle extra chips on top, and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
