Triple Chocolate Banana Bread
This easy Triple Chocolate Banana Bread recipe is a great way to use 3 overripe bananas. This decadent dessert is a chocolate lover's dream!
It is finally summer vacation! Don't get me wrong, I love teaching. But the final months leading up to summer feel like I am running on fumes. I need this break!
And with the summer comes so many over-ripe bananas. They just go bad so quickly that we can't seem to eat them fast enough. Which is saying something with 2 small children who love bananas. This Triple Chocolate Banana Bread is the perfect way to use all of those bananas.
The whole family loves this bread. It disappears within the DAY. There is rarely leftovers for the next day. It makes a perfect mid-day snack or a side for your morning coffee for when you want to satisfy your sweet tooth. Last week I actually made it 2 days in a row by request from my 3 year old. It is so good, I really couldn't object.

Tips
Storage: store this easy chocolate banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. You can also cover it in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil for optimal freshness.
Experiment with different kinds of chocolate. Instead of semi-sweet, try swapping it out for milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. Or mix all of them for a more intense chocolate flavor.
Make mini loaves. Instead of using a regular loaf pan, split it into mini loaf pans. You will need to bake it at the same temperature but for around 30 minutes instead, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
