    For those of you that are unaware…I am chocolate obsessed. 

    You may have figured this out from the incredible amount of chocolate recipes on this blog! 

    Don’t get me wrong…I love non chocolate desserts and breakfasts too, but chocolate speaks to me.

    Anyway…one thing I love to do is to take traditional recipes and make them chocolate. 

    I’ve done it with Cinnamon Rolls, New York Style Crumb Cake, Tea Cake, etc etc.

    This time I did it wIth banana bread! Don’t get me wrong, I adore regular banana bread but this Double Chocolate Banana Bread is what dreams are made of! If you only have 1 ripe banana on hand, check out my Banana Bread Cookies!

    Substitutions and Variations

    How to Make this Vegan

    • Use a non dairy gluten free flour.
    • Make sure the chocolate chips you use are gluten free/vegan.

    This recipe has not been tested with these substitutions and/or variations due to celiac disease and food allergies. If you change any of the ingredients, please let us know how the recipe turned out in the comments below!

    How to Make Double Chocolate Banana Bread

    Here are the step by step instructions of make this bread!

    Step 1: Preheat the Oven

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper leaving a one inch overhang on either side. Set aside.

    Step 2: Whisk the Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl combine the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk until fully combined.

    Step 3: Make the Cornstarch Water

    In a large bowl, using a spoon, mix together the cornstarch and water until it has a thin watery consistency. It will be tacky and thick at first.

    Step 4: Add the Sugar and the Wet Ingredients

    Once the cornstarch water is mixed, add the sugar to the cornstarch water and whisk to combine. Whisk in the mashed bananas, oil, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.

    Step 5: Add in the Dry Ingredients

    Next, stir in the flour mixture, a third at a time, until just combined. If it gets too thick for a whisk, switch to a spatula.

    Step 6: Add the Chocolate Chips and Pour into a Pan

    Fold in the cup of chocolate chips using the spatula. Pour the batter into the lined 9x5 loaf pan and top with more chips if desired.

    Step 7: Bake

    Bake for about 75-80 min until the top of the loaf is risen and springy to the touch.

    Remove from the oven and let cool in the loaf pan for at least 15 min.

    Lift the banana bread out using the parchment paper overhang and let it cool before cutting it open. Otherwise, it will fall apart.

    My family and I can’t get enough of this Double Chocolate Banana Bread. The perfect gluten free, nut free, egg free easily vegan treat for any time of the day! Enjoy! 

    Expert Baking Tips

    • Use 2 Types of Cocoa Powder- The 2 types of cocoa powders give the cookies their dark hue. If you only have one type on hand, use natural unsweetened or dutch...just know their color will not be as dark as mine. DO NOT use dark alone; it will make your bread too chalky dry and bitter.
    Darkness fills the picture with this Double Chocolate Banana Bread.

        Yes! I cannot test it due to celiac disease but I made this prior to my daughter's diagnosis. For this recipe, nothing else needs to be adjusted (usually other things need to change) just make sure to use packed cups of flour as the gf flour I use is thicker than regular AP flour. Hope this helps!

    Hi guys, I'm Lee! As a mother of two children with celiac disease and multiple food allergies, I wanted to share all that I’ve learned with others in a way that’s entertaining and helpful. All my food is 100 percent gluten free, nut free, seed free, egg free and most of my baked goods can easily be made dairy free (vegan).
