Will your chocolate banana bread recipe work with raw cacao powder instead of cocoa powder? This is best banana bread recipe and the only one I will make going forward. This recipe: 5 BIG STARS! Did you use a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan?
I can’t eat wheat, but I can eat spelt. I could taste some banana but it was almost like a flavoring. Thanks for another awesome recipe.
I omitted the chocolate chips and added lots of chopped pecans. I make it for everything. Hi Jenn! I loved it. Forget the rest! I also used mini chocolate chips, which dispersed perfectly throughout the loaf. This one is a keeper! I followed the recipe (don’t alter anything!) Thank you for sharing your recipes. I made it in muffin form though. The chocolate banana bread is, as my family says, devilishly delicious!
Mini muffins were a big hit among the preschool crowd. Will be making it again. Any ideas? Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs. Hi Jenn! The house smelled wonderful while it was baking. I made this last night, and my family loved it! at Walmart. All have really turned out wonderfully.
I used the Valrhona brand but I don’t see where it would say this. Use very ripe or over-ripe bananas.
4 Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and allspice. I changed it a bit, cause I usually use whole wheat – I used it here as well (I used only 1 cup cause it absorbs more liquid), and I think I put 3/4 cup of chocolate chunks. Next time, I will double the recipe and freeze one for later. Is it because of the butter?
Varying factors such as product types or brands purchased, natural fluctuations in fresh produce, and the way ingredients are processed change the effective nutritional information in any given recipe.
Love the recipe! it’s a keeper. That’s quite a difference. As I am an adventurous cook I am thinking of adding a small amt of cinnamon and cardamom next time for an exotic touch.
In which case, can we make your Healthy Banana bread (using coconut or olive oil and honey or syrup), then just add cocoa powder? I wouldn’t change a thing. We… It’s great!
Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating well after each addition. Thank you. Thank you! this link is to an external site that may or may not meet accessibility guidelines. I will be sharing this with my friends and making it again.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
I had some sour cream and very ripe bananas to use up, so I tried this recipe.
: ), Love your idea to add espresso powder, Cory. Well I will make it anyway. Can I substitute something else in chocolate banana bread than sour cream.
:). So glad I did!
Most people won't think twice about serving basic cornbread when is on the table. Is it ok if I use baking powder instead of baking soda with this recipe.
I have made this a few times and have tinkered with the recipe. Hi Ronald, there is nutritional information for the recipe as written, but I don’t know how your substitutes would impact the numbers – sorry I can’t be more helpful, but glad you liked the way it turned out! Loaded with flavour, absolutely delicious.
I cant wait to make it again, properly this time! Jenn, my large bread pans are Pyrex. Hope that helps! Made 2 loaves and he and I really enjoyed it. Add a variety of different types of chocolate chips to make your banana bread even more delicious! 5 Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir until just incorporated.
Decadent & the kind of stuff people dream of. Why the difference, and is it supposed to be like that?
Great taste with French vanilla ice cream. I want to make this next week.
If you prefer, you can just make our classic banana bread recipe. Eve. I brought this into the office and it was a BIG hit! I really like the Chicago Metallic Non-Stick Loaf pans. Thanks a million!! I loved this recipe and so did my husband!. I’ve tweaked the recipe a bit since I do not have cocoa powder. I have two questions.. 1) can I use regular butter instead of unsalted and omit the salt? Very good!
What better way to combine my 2 favorite ingredients! Can’t wait! Also made muffins instead of a loaf pan and was done in 18 mins in my oven.
Would it be possible to make this in a 9 inch cake pan instead of a loaf pan (which I do not have)…and perhaps double and make two — one for now one for freezing? I doubled the recipe and used white whole wheat flour, plain yogurt for the sour cream, and only 1 1/4C sugar. Can’t wait for bananas to ripen to make it again. I used 100% dark cocoa powder instead of the unsweetened And larger dark chocolate chip morsels mixed with a few milk chocolate and these are some of the best “muffins” I’ve ever had. I do make some substitutions coconut oil for the butter, homemade yogurt for the sour cream, and dark chocolate baking chunks instead of chocolate chips. Please try again later.
Let me know how it turns out!
You can use it for a plain banana bread, a peanut butter banana bread, or a chocolate chip banana bread. Love them! I would not modify a thing.
I made this loaf tonight with my son and it overflowed in the oven! Shana Tova! If you’re concerned about loss of acid, use baking powder instead of soda, or a mix of the two.
