Double chocolate banana bread from Smitten Kitchen by Deb Perelman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute chocolate chips for chunks.

    Very, very good, however the banana flavor did not come through for me. I did use 72% dark chocolate chips, may be that overpowered the banana, but that was fine, it was a wonderful tasting loaf. I only used 2 and a half banana and 3 very scant quarter cups of sugar.

    Agree with others - easy and good. I reduced the bananas as only had 2 and it was still banana-ey. Slightly reduced the sugar as I find Deb’s bakes can be overly sweet for me. Delicious.

    Easy/quick to put together. As others have said, the banana flavor comes through.

    Delicious. Perfect for chocolate lovers. Banana flavor still came through.

    Very very tasty. Didn't have chocolate chips at home so just omitted them. This recipe works wonderfully with flax egg.

    Yum. I was worried that the banana taste wouldn't be there, but it is. Also, not too sweet. Super easy, too.

    Very chocolatey, even without all the chocolate chips in! A more grown-up chocolate than a kiddie one. Very, very good.
