Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups ripe bananas, mashed
1 egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Gather and measure the ingredients for your double chocolate banana bread.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9 x 15 loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the egg, butter, yogurt, and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
Add the white sugar and brown sugar to the banana mixture. Mix until the sugars are fully dissolved.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well, then sift the dry ingredients into the banana mixture and whisk until just combined.
Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 50 minutes, then insert a toothpick into the center. Continue baking as needed until the toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Let the double chocolate banana bread rest for 20 minutes to firm up before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

Overripe bananas are the best choice for homemade double chocolate banana bread. If yours are still yellow, just air-fry them at 300°F until soft, with the peels blackened.
You can use this double chocolate banana bread recipe to make about 12 muffins, depending on how full you fill the muffin cups. Line the muffin pan with cupcake liners, fill them with batter, and bake for the first 5 minutes at 425°F. Then, lower the temperature to 350°F and bake the double chocolate banana muffins for another 15 minutes.
For easier handling, let your choc chip banana bread cool for 20 to 30 minutes before running a knife around the edges and inverting the loaf onto a wire cooling rack.
