Double Chocolate Banana Bread Ingredients
This classic banana bread is so easy to make. All you need is:
- mashed banana
- white sugar
- unsalted butter (or an oil such as coconut oil or avocado oil)
- large eggs
- sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- vanilla extract
- unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- all purpose flour
- baking soda
- salt
- chocolate chips (plus extra chocolate chips for the top of the bread)
Tips
Storage: Store any leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Freezing. This banana bread freezes really well. All you need to do is wrap the entire loaf in plastic wrap (then again in aluminum foil or place in a freezer bag for extra protection against freezer burn) and freeze for up to 6 months. When you are ready to eat it, allow the banana bread to thaw at room temperature or in the fridge. If you want to eat it right away, you can slice it then microwave the slice for a few seconds.
Swap out the cup of chocolate chips. You can replace the semi-sweet chocolate chips with either white or dark chocolate chips. You can also choose something less chocolatey, such as butterscotch or peanut butter chips. I love using chocolate chunks too for a more bakery style type bread.
