It’s Banana Bread, but better, because chocolate makes everything better, right? My kids were skeptical. They said, does chocolate go with bananas? And I had them all convinced within one bite.

We’re just coming out of our second lockdown and I know a lot of places in the world are going into lockdown too. And if quarantine has been represented by anything from the first time around it’s banana bread. So for a little upgrade, let’s make this rounds BB double chocolate!

I don’t know about you, but for me, adding chocolate to almost anything is ALWAYS a good idea. My family loves Classic Banana Bread, and Banana Blueberry Bread, so I thought, why not add chocolate to our favorite Banana bakes?!

Adding cocoa powder as well as lots of chocolate chips to the batter take this classic recipe to a whole new level.

If we don’t want the coffee flavor, can we simply omit the coffee granules?

  You can, but you will need the water used. In this amount, you don't really taste coffee, but it does strengthen/enhances the chocolate flavor.

  Hi! The coffee here does not actually give a coffee flavor at all! You can use decaf if you prefer. The purpose of the coffee here is to intensify the chocolate flavor. So you can skip it if you want and just use water but I recommend trying it with!

This was I an interesting version of banana bread. I enjoyed it as a chocolate fix when I needed it. Would probably make it again.
