    I don’t know about you all but bananas are ALWAYS piling up in my house. My kids LOVE to eat them, so I always keep them in the house, but then one week they decide they don’t want them, so I end up with 8 or so blackened bananas. I usually throw them in the freezer until I am ready to deal with them, however, my collection keeps growing!

    If you were to look in my freezer right now, you would see about 5 loaves of banana bread and now 5 more of this yummy chocolate banana bread. That wouldn’t include the 8+ bananas I have frozen, waiting to be baked with, lol! It is one of those things I like to always have since they are perfect for company, play dates  snacks for the kids, etc.

    Anytime I am in the mood for a sweet and am short on time, this banana bread is perfect! I can have it ready for the oven in less than 10 minutes, and be enjoying it about 25-30 minutes after that!

    With a slight hint of banana, and LOTS of gooey chocolate chips….this is a hit with my entire family!

    Freeze it, enjoy it now, gift it to neighbors and family, etc. This Double Chocolate Banana Bread is sure to be a hit with everyone! You may already have the ingredients on hand!

    Hope you enjoy and be sure to let me know what you think if you try it! Also, come connect with me on Instagram!

      I’ve been making this for years using half whole wheat and half regular flour with fine results. so good when you warm a slice in the microwave for about 15 secs.

      Hmmm, good question. Typically, I would use 50% whole wheat and 50% all purpose if I was going to change it up. I have heard that in these types of recipes, you can however just use it as the recipe calls for and not make any changes.
      Let us know what you end up doing and how it turns out!!! : )

      What would I have to adjust to use whole wheat pastry flour?
