Make this easy, one-bowl double chocolate chip banana bread for a super moist and tender loaf packed with rich cocoa flavor. This recipe is perfect for using overripe bananas.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  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, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix them together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the milk and half of the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best moisture and flavor.
  • For an extra rich flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • This bread freezes well once completely cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
