I am over the moon like literally, India’s Chandrayaan-3 landed on the moon, which of course is a very proud moment for us.

It’s perfect, the right blend of banana and chocolate. The best Chocolate Banana Bread in the world and I am not kidding, its perfect. It finished in a day and everyone who ate it raved about it so much that I was asked to bake another one.

It took me quite a while to perfect it and many failed attempts but at last I did bake the perfect chocolate banana bread. It has a moist, tender crumb, has that delicious tropical banana flavor which goes so well with the earthy, warm coco and dark chocolate. When you bite into this bread your mouth is hit with banana of course but with delicious pools of melted gooey chocolate along with the rich luxurious taste of the coco powder. This Chocolate Banana Bread is epic, and you need to try it.

Why is this chocolate banana bread the best?

1. I used a 100 % pure and natural coco powder, this particular brand that I use comes from Kerela, its dark and earthy and provides an intense chocolate flavor to the bread. Then I used chunks of 60 % dark chocolate which ultimately melt in the bread and become pools of gooey chocolate as mentioned above. My tip use the best coco and chocolate that you have its the only way your bread will taste superior.
2. Use overripe bananas, the ones that turn dark black and brown. Please don’t throw them away because these are the kind of bananas that make an excellent banana bread. The overripe bananas make the bread moist yes! but also provide that extra banana flavor that banana bread is so popular for.
3. Melted butter is the key to a buttery moist bread with tender crumb and great flavor. The melted butter keeps the bread extra moist and yum.
4. I have only used dark brown sugar that’s because I wanted the banana bread to be moist. Dark brown sugar contains molasses, which adds depth and a hint of caramel-like sweetness to the bread. This complements the flavors of both the chocolate and the bananas, creating a more robust and satisfying taste experience.
5. I have used a pinch of kosher salt, I feel it brings together everything beautifully.
6. I have sprinkled a little granular sugar on the banana bread batter, it just gives the banana bread a little crunch.
7. Don’t overbake the bread or you will end up with a dry, hard bread. Once the skewer comes out clean your bread is ready, you might poke into a few spots where the chocolate is and might end up with gooey bits on your skewer, but my advice is to poke it from different places so that you know for sure that your bread is baked.
