It’s Banana Bread, but better, because chocolate makes everything better, right? My kids were skeptical. They said, does chocolate go with bananas? And I had them all convinced within one bite.
We’re just coming out of our second lockdown and I know a lot of places in the world are going into lockdown too. And if quarantine has been represented by anything from the first time around it’s banana bread. So for a little upgrade, let’s make this rounds BB double chocolate!
What is double chocolate banana bread?
I don’t know about you, but for me, adding chocolate to almost anything is ALWAYS a good idea. My family loves Classic Banana Bread, and Banana Blueberry Bread, so I thought, why not add chocolate to our favorite Banana bakes?!
Adding cocoa powder as well as lots of chocolate chips to the batter take this classic recipe to a whole new level.

Can banana bread be made into muffins?
Yes! This chocolate banana bread recipe works great as muffins. The only change you need to make is to adjust the baking time to about 20-30 minutes.
Can chocolate banana bread be frozen?
Absolutely! I love freezing this banana bread because it stays fresh in the freezer for a long time (up to 6 months). When defrosting, slice and place in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to warm up, it will taste like it’s straight from the oven!
Can you eat Double Chocolate Banana Bread for breakfast?
Ummm… if you ask me, then I say OF COURSE, WHY NOT?! There are bananas in there, so I say it’s a great breakfast, especially slathered in butter with a hot cup of coffee.
