Notes
- Use a combination of brown sugar and white sugar to get a moist bread. You may choose to use only brown or white as well.
- Using wheat flour may make the cake a little dense, so feel free to substitute it with all-purpose flour for a more airy bread.
- As always, use overripe bananas to get a great-tasting banana bread.
- While this chocolate banana bread is usually ready in about 55 minutes, ovens can vary. If the center isn’t fully set by then, continue baking in 5-minute increments.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center, and if it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, it’s ready to come out of the oven.
