WW Recipe of the Day: Low-Fat Double Chocolate Banana Bread
As soon as I saw Elise's Chocolate Banana Bread on Simply Recipes a couple weeks ago, I knew I wanted to make one of my very own.
Low-Fat Double Chocolate Banana Bread
So, I adapted my favorite low-fat banana bread using her recipe as a guide.
Skinny on Low Fat Chocolate Banana Bread
The results were as good as I'd hoped. A moist, dense, low-fat chocolate banana bread, infused with cocoa, speckled with melty miniature chocolate chips, with a gentle hint of allspice.
Making Chocolate Banana Bread
This is sweet enough to be considered dessert in my book.
I think it would be wonderful warmed slightly and topped with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Be sure to use very ripe bananas, covered in brown spots, for the best results.

Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas, well mashed (about 1-¾ cups)
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
- 1-¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F degrees and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan (affiliate link).
In a large mixing bowl (affiliate link), mix the mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, vanilla and espresso powder (if using) together until they are well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and allspice until well combined.
Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture, just until blended, and then stir in the chocolate chips.
Put the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the bread is fairly firm springs back when pressed with your finger. (Mine took 70 minutes.)
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
