Moist Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe

I adore this banana bread with walnuts and chocolate! I find the pairing of chocolate and bananas AMAZING and SO delicious. Plus, this is my favorite way to use up any extra ripe bananas I have

In this triple chocolate banana bread recipe I used semi-sweet chocolate, cocoa powder and chocolate ganache topping; it is every chocolate lover's dream.

This fuss-free recipe is the only banana bread recipe I have been making for 10 years now.

You'll Need

All-purpose flour: I highly recommend measuring the flour right to get the best texture.

Cocoa powder: Make sure to use good quality, natural and unsweetened cocoa powder. However, you can use Dutch process cocoa if you already have it in your pantry.

Baking powder and baking soda: They give the bread a fluffy texture.

Sugar: I use granulated sugar.

Eggs: I prefer using large eggs at room temperature in baking.

Butter: It gives the bread a rich flavor. I use unsalted butter.

Ripe bananas: I used 2 large ripe bananas, which gives a delicious banana flavour. You can use 3 medium ones.

Vanilla extract: It adds more flavor to the bread.

Semi-sweet chocolate: Use chocolate bars or chocolate chips. It adds a rich chocolate flavor to the loaf cake.

Walnuts: I like to use walnuts for a crunchy texture.

Milk: Adding milk gives the bread a nice, moist texture, I prefer whole milk!

Toppings: I used chocolate ganache and some chopped walnuts for topping.

How to Make The Recipe

One: Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and grease an 5-inch loaf pan with butter or line with parchment paper.

Two: Use a fork to mash the bananas and set aside.

Tip: Make sure to mash the bananas NOT slicing it. Slicing the bananas may form lumps when cooked.

Three: In a small mixing bowl, mix (dry ingredients) flour, baking powder, baking soda, a pinch of salt and cocoa powder.

Four: In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar well until they become fluffy.

Five: Add vanilla extract, melted butter and milk. Whisk until combined.

Six: Stir in the mashed bananas, chopped walnut and chocolate with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.

Seven: Fold in the dry ingredients, stir until combined. Pour the batter into the loaf pan, then bake for 45-50 minutes.

Tip: Make sure to not overbake the bread; it leaves the bread dry.

Eight: Let it cool for 5-10 minutes, then take the bread out of the tin on a wire rack to cool completely

Tip: Wait for the bread to cool down before you remove it from the pan.

Nine: Drizzle the chocolate ganache on top of it and sprinkle the chopped walnut. Slice and serve.

How To Ripen Bananas Quickly?

Using ripe bananas is what gives a delicious flavour to the bread. But if you don’t have ripe bananas, just preheat the oven to 350F / 180C and place the bananas on parchment paper without peeling them.

Once it’s preheated, put them in for 15 minutes, and the outside of the bananas will begin to turn brown. Remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool down. You will have delicious mushy bananas that are ready to use.

How To Store It

Store for 4-5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

To freeze it, I cut the whole loaf and then wrap the individual slices in parchment paper or aluminum foil and keep it in the freezer for 1-2 months, thaw overnight.
