Just made this for our neighbors that moved in and kept one for us. Fantastic. The cocoa makes it. Used frozen (thawed) bananas. My new go to banana bread recipe. Delish!

Wow! Just had a piece of this banana bread warm out of the oven, and this might be my new go-to banana bread recipe. It is tender and moist, with lots of banana flavor. We love our banana bread around here, and I’ve been using the same recipe for 15+ years, but this is on another level. I did take mine out after just 45 minutes, because it was done and it was over browning on the top (I was going to tent it with foil and leave it in, but the toothpick test showed they were actually done, so I took them out!), and I’m glad I did – it is perfectly moist and delicious!

I have been making this banana bread for about 3+ years, I found you on Instagram, started following you and decided to try this recipe. I’ve never found a banana bread that I’ve truly loved, until this one. I follow the recipe completely, and it’s perfection every time. I’ve always found other banana breads to be way too wet/underbaked even when they’re not, especially when it’s a day+ old. This one is hands down delicious freshly baked and 3 days later…if it lasts that long! My kids, now 8 & 6, will only eat this banana bread, they light up when I tell them I’m making it! Thank you for sharing something so simple but such an important staple in my family’s life.

This was very good and I used it as the base for the chocolate bread pudding. It definitely has that chocolate taste to it. I did substitute the vegetable oil with half melted butter and half avocado oil and the texture was perfect.

I made this today but only used a quarter of a cup of white sugar on top of the half cup of brown sugar and I found this was quite sweet enough with all the added bananas. Left out the pecans as I didn’t have any. Good flavour and texture all round!

In reply to Sybil. Hi Sybil! This recipe calls for oil, but you could test swapping a portion of the oil for butter if you prefer it that way. Happy baking!

In reply to zoe. I see the above comment about substituting oil for the butter. Am I just missing the butter in the ingredients list?
