Chocolate Banana Bread is a rich, moist loaf that blends ripe bananas with deep cocoa flavor and melty chocolate chips. This easy-to-make treat is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

1 cup white whole wheat flour

1/2 cup light brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (+ more for topping)

2 large eggs

3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1.25 cups)

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a standard-size bread pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
  3. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Pour in the melted coconut oil and mix until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared bread pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
  • Ensure bananas are very ripe with brown spots for the best sweetness and moisture.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze individual slices wrapped tightly for up to 3 months.
  • Warm slices in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or in a toaster oven before serving.
