Bake this easy recipe for super moist chocolate banana bread packed with chocolate chips. This decadent loaf uses overripe bananas to create a soft, fudgy texture perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 large)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in half (1/2 cup) of the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the moist banana bread recipe, ensure your bananas are heavily spotted or nearly black for the best flavor and moisture content.
  • If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with an equal amount of cake flour.
  • This bread freezes well. Wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
