I have used only brown sugar in this double chocolate banana bread – it keeps the bread more moist as it contains molasses.

It is such an easy, quick, and satisfying recipe which you can make frequently. It tastes so much better than store bought banana bread. Enjoy a slice of the ultimate double chocolate banana bread with some fruits or milk for a fulfilling breakfast. 

Why Add Vinegar In The Double Chocolate Banana Bread? 

Vinegar is an awesome ingredient in baked goods. Adding vinegar with baking soda is ideal for many types of breads. Both the ingredients create a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide while baking.

The bread rises beautifully by adding apple cider vinegar and baking soda while making double chocolate banana bread. It results in a fluffy, moist, airy texture, and creates beautiful crumbs in the bread. 

The bread batter with added vinegar will have a better shelf life and makes the banana bread more flavorful. 

Ingredients

• All purpose flour
• Cocoa powder
• Baking soda

Double Chocolate Banana Bread Step By Step Recipe

In a small bowl, mix together apple cider vinegar and milk, and set aside for 10 minutes to curdle. 

Line the bottom of a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside. Slightly overhang the paper on the sides – it helps to remove the bread easily from the pan. 

Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃

In a mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients – all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder, and salt. 

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. 

Add the brown sugar to the mashed bananas and mix them together. 

Combine some oil with the mashed bananas and mix everything well. 

Transfer the curdled milk, gently mix with the banana mixture, and add some vanilla extract. 

Combine the dry ingredients into 2 batches to the wet ingredients and gently mix. Do not over mix the batter. 

Add half of the chocolate chips to the bread batter, mix, and transfer it to a lined baking tray. 

Evenly spread the batter with a spatula and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips all over the top of the bread. 

Gently tap the pan 1-2 times on a countertop and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bread comes out clean when a toothpick is inserted in the middle. 

Transfer the baking tray onto a cooling rack for about 15 minutes. 

Gently lift the parchment paper from a baking pan and let the bread cool completely on a cooling rack. 

Transfer the bread to a cutting board and evenly cut into 12 pieces. 

Tips For Making Double Chocolate Banana Bread

• Measure the flour correctly while baking for the best results. Take a spoon and lightly spoon the flour into your measuring cup. Use a knife to level off the top of the flour. Never scoop flour directly into your measuring cup from a flour bag/container since you will end up with significantly more flour.
• Use overripe bananas for this recipe – bananas which have dark brown spots on them.They are sweeter and a great way of using them in a bread for super moist double chocolate banana bread. 
• For making the bread rich in taste, do not skip adding full fat milk in the recipe. 
• Bake the double chocolate banana bread for 50-60 minutes, depending on your oven. Make sure to check the bread after 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center and It should come out clean. 
• Do not over bake the bread or it will turn very dark and turn a little bitter in taste.  
• Let the bread cool down completely before slicing so the bread slices will not fall apart while cutting them. 

Variations

• You can increase the amount of chocolate chips in the recipe. 
• If you want to combine some nuts in the banana bread then add ¼ cup of pecans or walnuts in the batter. 
• Brown sugar adds loads of moisture into the bread but you can use equal amounts of regular and brown sugar in the recipe. 
• White vinegar can be used instead of apple cider vinegar while making the banana bread.
