Triple Chocolate Banana Bread

Triple Chocolate Banana Bread is super moist and full of chocolate flavor. This is a chocolate lover’s banana bread for sure. Sorry bananas, chocolate takes center stage here. But you still get that banana flavor, it’s just more of an undertone.

This is a recipe from Spend With Pennies I spotted on Pinterest. You can find it and many other enticing banana recipes on my Going Bananas! Pinterest Board. Yes, it’s necessary to have a Pinterest Board just for bananas.

This banana bread is a triple chocolate whammy. The first dose of chocolate comes from cocoa powder in the batter.

Second dose? Semi-sweet chocolate chips tossed into the batter. Enough to notice they are there, but not enough to overpower the bread.

Finally, a thick and rich chocolate glaze on top. Don’t be shy with it.

All in all, a truly decadent banana bread to make snack time extra special!

Triple Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe Tips:

  • Use very ripe bananas. They should have lots of black spots on them. The bananas add both sweetness and moisture and super ripe bananas have more of each.
  • I love the richness the glaze adds but it can be skipped and you’re still left with delicious chocolate banana bread.

 

This super rich banana bread makes a great snack or breakfast and it has enough sweetness and chocolate flavor to pass as dessert.

  1. Hi! re: the glaze recipe – is it just a teaspoon of butter, or a tablespoon? Most recipes divide butter into tablespoons, so wanted to check!

  2. Hi! Looks really yummy! Can I ask you what’s “half and half” in glaze instructions? Thank you.
