Description

A moist and flavorful chocolate espresso banana bread recipe, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. This recipe combines ripe bananas with rich chocolate and a hint of espresso for a delightful twist on a classic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder (or finely ground coffee)
  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and espresso powder.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
