This isn’t the type of banana bread you’ll offer for morning; reserve it for dessert! This delectable triple chocolate banana bread is coated with a thick coating of chocolate ganache and is very chocolaty without being excessively sweet. If you like bananas and chocolate, you will adore this! Next, try my fan favorite flawless banana bread.
Apologies for the long gap between new posts (which I love that YOU like), but something unexpected occurred this weekend, and I unplugged to really appreciate it and let it sink in: I got engaged!

It’s amazing the types of inquiries people ask when you tell them you’re engaged, like what the date is, even if it occurred just an hour ago.
Or what the color scheme will be, even if I can’t figure out what color shoes will go with my shirt.
Or what sort of cake I’ll be making.

HOLD UP.
I will not, repeat, will NOT make my wedding cake. There is no way in the world that I would trust myself to create and carry my own cake while dealing with everything else that occurs on a bride’s wedding day. I’m going to leave such pranks to the big-money pastry chefs. I’m not sure what flavor we want, however this may be the most difficult choice I have to make regarding the wedding.
What if we make chocolate or red velvet and it stains my dress? By the end of the night, Bill or I will almost certainly be wearing some of our meal. There’s a reason I always have a Tide pen with me.
Or ice cream cake (because, hello, ice cream cake) and everything melts?
What if I choose vanilla and it turns out to be boring? I don’t want to be monotonous. Well, it’s minimalist, but it’s not dull.
Maybe we could make a cake that is part ice cream cake, part smaller cake with layers of chocolate and vanilla, and part even smaller red velvet cake! So, you mean a three-tiered cake? (a strange one, but nevertheless) I’m new to wedding planning, you guys.
Another option is to offer this luscious triple chocolate banana bread, with its thick, silky chocolate ganche-y perfection.
No? Well, it could be going a little too far in terms of creativity.
So maybe you might cook this simply for yourself, no particular occasion necessary. This isn’t your normal banana bread for a Saturday morning, but if you did, you’d be the cool mom.
No way, this shiz is fit for a dessert. You noticed the name, didn’t you? Triple. Chocolate. Bread with bananas.
When I asked Bill to explain it, he remarked, “It’s like a chocolate fondue in your tongue.” That’s all there is to it.
You may omit the chocolate chips in the batter or the ganache glaze entirely.
If you despise happiness, that is.
