Here’s a rich and indulgent recipe for Triple Chocolate Banana Bread—perfect for chocolate and banana lovers! 🍫🍌
Ingredients (for 1 loaf)
- 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk or milk
- ½ cup (90 g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
- ½ cup (90 g) white chocolate chips
- ½ cup (90 g) dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- 350 °F (175 °C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar:
- In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
- Combine wet and dry:
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Stir in milk to loosen the batter slightly—it should be thick but pourable.
- Add chocolate:
- Gently fold in chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chunks.
- Bake:
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few melted chocolate streaks are fine).
- Cool and serve:
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Slice and enjoy as-is, or spread with a little butter or Nutella for extra indulgence.
If you want, I can also give a super-moist version with sour cream and espresso that really intensifies the chocolate flavor—perfect for dessert-level richness.
Do you want me to give that upgraded version?
