Double Chocolate Banana Bread

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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.

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

I love this recipe because it can be made with basic pantry staples.

  • Ripe bananas
  • Vegetable oil, I used canola
  • Sugar
  • Egg
  • Vanilla extract
  • All purpose flour
  • Cocoa powder
  • Salt
  • Baking powder
  • Instant coffee
  • Boiling water
  • Chocolate chips 

How to make double chocolate banana bread:

This recipe comes together super easily in just a few quick steps. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for it to bake in the oven!

  1. First whisk oil, sugar, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  2. Then add in mashed bananas and mix to combine.
  3. Fold in flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.
  4. Next, pour in the dissolved coffee and mix.
  5. Mix in most of the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour mixture into a loaf pan and top with remaining chocolate chips.
  7. Bake and Enjoy!!

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!

Chocolate banana bread with butter

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.

✨Donut Hack✨ I love all kinds of donuts, seri ✨Donut Hack✨

I love all kinds of donuts, seriously, I’m not picky (when it comes to donuts 😅). But frying donuts is such a mess 🙈 I usually save it for Chanukah time.

That’s why I LOVE these cinnamon sugar donut muffins! They look/taste like munchkins but they’re actually muffins 😱.

Plus they come together really easily and are made in only one bowl!! 

Get the recipe at the link in my bio or search “Lilyrose donut muffins” on google!

Also, watch me and Rebekah make these over on @balaganbegone 🤩!

Have you tried these yet?

Tonight begins the new Hebrew month of Shvat in the lunar calendar. In this month we celebrate the holiday of Tu B’Shvat, the new year for the trees 🌳. 

The “dirt” is Oreo crumbs, and the greens are all herbs from my moms garden. The flowers are supposedly “edible” but don’t worry, I didn’t eat them 😅.

חודש טוב!

✨Red Moon Apples✨ Story time! A couple of wee ✨Red Moon Apples✨

Story time!
A couple of weeks ago my husband brought home apples from the supermarket. He said you have to cut into one of these, you’re not going to believe it!

So, I did, and I was shocked! They were bright red and beautiful inside!!! I’ve never seen anything like it before (have you?!?), and of course my first reaction was, “I need to photograph these!”

Fast forward, it’s been in the back of my mind, but I’ve been busy, so time has passed and there are only two apples left in the fridge. And they’re prob going to go bad soon. But still, I haven’t found the time.

This morning, I woke up early and got started on my to do list. It was 11 items long and some of those things had sub items 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

But then, I saw @malkaklein’s post. And she asked when was the last time you created for the sake of creating? And it felt like she was talking directly to me! 

So thanks to Malka, these photos that I have been imagining for weeks now were created and I love them 🥰

I knew I wanted to go dark and moody with these apples, but the light was beautiful so I did some light and brights too 😅

What do you prefer? Light or dark?

✨French Fries✨ So you all know I love donuts, ✨French Fries✨

So you all know I love donuts, and cookies, and strawberry short cake...

But, did you know that I’ll ALWAYS, no but seriously always, pick fries over any of those things?? 

Sooooo weird for a pastry chef to admit this 🙈 but it’s salty over sweet any day for me! Especially if we’re talking fries (with grated Parmesan, yummm) 🍟

What about you? Are you sweet or salty or an equal opportunity eater 🤣?
