Make a rich, fudgy loaf using overripe bananas. This recipe delivers extremely moist chocolate banana bread every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus 1/4 cup for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas and melted butter until combined.
  3. Stir in the brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or black for the best moisture and flavor.
  • For an extra fudgy texture, use a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.
  • If the top browns too quickly during baking, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes.
