Super soft Gluten Free Double Chocolate Banana Bread. So moist, full of banana flavour and loaded with chocolate. You’ll love this chocolate chip banana bread with an extra dose of chocolate!
This super moist banana bread is filled with a completely delectable chocolate flavour. The sweet, mellow banana flavour and rich cocoa are a match made in heaven. And with a large cup of tea or coffee? We’re talking perfection.
This Gluten Free Double Chocolate Banana Bread is the ultimate banana bread. It is SO rich and divine. And it is bread so it is totally acceptable to eat a slice for breakfast. Or you can eat a slice as a 3 p.m. for a chocolate pick me up. Or you can eat a slice after dinner for dessert. Or you can eat a slice topped with ice cream at midnight. It is the BEST banana bread and I think you should make a loaf TODAY. I hope you have brown bananas handy. Overripe bananas are the key. If you have to hide bananas to get them to turn brown, do it.
This double chocolate banana bread also freezes really well, making a perfect make-ahead breakfast. You can slice it then put each slice into individual ziploc bag and freeze. To defrost, leave the ziploc bag on the counter overnight, and in the morning you will have a delicious slice of chocolate banana bread waiting for you for breakfast!
