Instructions

Bread

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan generously with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs and mashed bananas.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake at 350F for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool.

Topping

  • Heat the half and half and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble around the edges, stirring often. Stir in the butter and vanilla until combined.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the chocolate chips, whisking until melted.
  • Pour the chocolate glaze into a small bowl and set aside to cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over top of the chocolate banana bread.
