Double chocolate banana bread is a rich and decadent change to plain banana bread. Made with two kinds of chocolate, this bread is sweet, moist and delicious.
Banana bread is a classic quick bread, but after a while, even this classic can be boring. The use of two types of chocolate in this recipe takes plain banana bread to a new level. That’s why this recipe is one of our favourites.

Tips For Making This Recipe
When making this recipe, the bananas should be black but not spoiled. The darker the bananas, the sweeter the bread will be.
To prepare the pan for baking the bread, it should be greased and also lined with parchment paper. The paper should hang over the side to make it easier to remove the bread from the pan after baking.
We like to line the pans with parchment that is cut specifically for bread pans because of the convenience.
