Chocolate Banana Bread Easy Recipe is so simple to prepare. This chocolatey concoction should be called a chocolate cake instead of Chocolate Banana Bread. However you want to call it, I challenge you to find something more appealing.

This simple to make, quick bread recipe is the ultimate blend of chocolate and banana.

Banana bread knows no season, and that’s what i like about it. It may be the day before Christmas, or the middle of a heat wave in Juli, once I get the yearning for a banana loaf, i am going to make it.

It really doesn’t even matter if I’ve got ripe bananas, I’ll use them straight from the market if I have to. However it just so happens that middle October or early November is the good time to make this chocolate version, trust me on this. And it’s an excellent way to flex your, and warm-up baking muscles just a touch bit before the starter bell rings and holiday madness begins.

How to make the Sliced Banana Topping for Chocolate Banana Bread ?

  • One whole banana is sliced down to its whole length, into three planks.
  • The secret for this recipe isn’t to use one of those soft blackened bananas, save those for the batter, instead use a bright yellow one that is firm enough.
  • Use a small kitchen knife, and slice it slowly. It’ll slice like butter.
  • Just in case be sure to have a spare banana handy, in case things don’t go well.
