    Can substitute sour cream for crème fraîche.

    Used Greek yoghurt instead of Crème fraiche this time and black cocoa, also nice but better in the original version

    Easy, fast recipe with nice chocolate notes — and it smells amazing while baking and even for awhile afterward. I made mine into mini loaves instead of one large loaf and added a small slice of banana or a few raspberries to each for a little extra flair. I personally lean toward the chocolate banana bread recipe from Sarah Fennel’s Sweet Tooth, but this was a fun one to try.

    Came out really nice and moist. Good option when you want to use up bananas and don’t feel like regular banana bread. I used 3 bananas (300g) and also more sour cream to use up what I had left (75g). Just upped the flour slightly and reduced the sugar to 160g.

    I used mostly dark chocolate chips, but otherwise followed the recipe. The first day I really wasn’t sure about this, but after that I liked it a lot. Very quick to put together, tender, rich.

    Hard to stop eating this. Used a cocktail long loaf pan, less than 14” x 3”, took 45-50 minutes. Will definitely make again.

    This is one of the best banana breads I've ever made (and my go-to is Joanne Chang's from Flour). The chocolate and banana flavors are perfectly balanced, and the chocolate chips make it really special. We couldn't stop snacking on this!

    Not too sweet, very moist and with a good balance of chocolate and banana flavours. Delicious! I made it with whole wheat flour and sour cream.

    Delicious, with perfect blend of dark chocolate and banana flavors, and pleasing texture. I used sour cream, particularly since recipe only calls for 1/4 cup.

    This cake is rich and satisfying- really delicious. My kid are going to love finding some packed in their lunchboxes tomorrow!

    Big hit with my sons’ classmates, and how could it be not - chocolate & banana, a perfect combination!
