By this point, I think I should be called the queen on banana bread! Every time I make a banana bread recipe... it blows my mind how good it is! I am a huge fan of coffee and dark chocolate so this combination seemed like an absolute no brainer. This

tsp salt

tsp baking soda

cup all purpose flour

espresso

tsp vanilla extract

egg

banana

cup light-brown sugar

cup unsalted butter
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven - Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Brown the butter - In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add in the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt & stir to avoid burning. Once the butter is brown & gives off a nutty aroma remove from heat. Transfer to the mixing bowl & allow to cool for 10 minutes. 3. Add the brown sugar - Whisk in the brown sugar until fully incorporated. This will take 1-2 minutes. 4. Mash the bananas - In a separate bowl, mash the overripe bananas. Add the bananas to the butter-sugar mixture. Whisk until fully combined. 5. Add in the remaining wet ingredients - Whisk in the egg, espresso, & vanilla extract. 6. Combine the dry ingredients -In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, & salt. 7. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture - Pour the flour mixture into the banana batter. Gently fold to combine. 8. Add in the chocolate chunks - On a cutting board, roughly chop up both of the dark chocolate bars. Transfer into the batter. 9. Pour into the pan - Pour your mixture into a lined or greased bread pan. 10. Bake - Bake the bread at 350 got 55-65 minutes. Halfway through, add aluminum foil over the bread to avoid too much browning on the top. At 55 minutes, do the knife test to see if it is ready. If it comes out clean, the bread is down. If batter comes out with the knife, put it back in the over. 11. Cooling time - Once the bread is done baking, allow the bread to cool at least one hour before slicing. This will ensure the bread to slice evenly & avoid crumbling. I know it is hard to wait because your house will smell AMAZING. But, trust me it is worth the wait!View original recipe
