Everyone has bananas that are just past eating at some point right?  I think I say that every time I post some kind of banana bread, but it’s true.  We eat a ton of bananas in our house, quite literally.  At the store I always think I better get one extra bunch to throw in the freezer at the end of the week for smoothies and somehow we still only end up with one or two extra.  I don’t know how it happens. It might be the two monkeys we have for kids, haha.

I do get sick of banana bread though.  My hubby doesn’t like bananas baked into anything so for the kids and I to go through a loaf is a bit much so it usually gets frozen and enjoyed for a little longer.  I wanted to mix things up a little though so I went with a chocolate loaf.  Surprisingly it doesn’t have too much sugar considering how chocolatey it was.  Thank you bananas!

I will tell you, none of this loaf made it to the freezer  🙂

In this loaf I used coconut oil, which I use all the time.  I really love the stuff.  From a purely culinary perspective, think of all the things you can do with an oil that is naturally solid up till 76 degrees.  My favorite of course, is a healthy chocolate magic shell sauce that’s made with your favorite chocolate melted with a little coconut oil.  As soon as you pour it on ice cream it turns into a magic, hard chocolate shell.  Awesome, right?  It’s also delicious for dipping frozen fruit into.  Yummy!  I also love that it’s a healthy fat for cooking, which is something that makes me nervous about other oils.

 

Tropical Traditions was nice enough to send me a sample to try and review of their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil and I have to say I absolutely love it.  If you’ve never tried coconut oil you really should, it’s creamy and coconutty.  You might think you wont like the coconut flavor in everything but you get used to it very quickly, and I even miss it in dishes that don’t normally have a coconut flavor.  I like using it in everything from desserts to roasted veggies and savory dishes.  And besides how much I love coconut oil I have to say I really love how Tropical Traditions produces their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.  If you’re curious why, just watch this quick video.

 

See you back here tomorrow for a giveaway!

    Hi,
    Made this recipe yesterday and it turned out great! The only thing I changed was that I used Canola oil instead of Coconut oil as I didn’t have any. Thanks for taking the time to put up the recipe and the photos.
    Cheers

    I am mildly obsessed with banana breads, and especially ones paired with chocolate! Add in coconut to the mix and I’m sold! This looks so good! 🙂

    I just made a banana bread the other day as well. So funny! Mine was not a chocolate bread like yours though! I’m sure my kids would have preferred this bread. I actually had to go to the store to get over-ripe bananas as we go through them way to quickly ourselves. I think we were monkey’s in our past life.

    Just last week I bought 2 bunches of Bananas with the intent to freeze one bunch for smoothies and “ice cream” …..yup that never happened – just between 2 of us we managed to consume both bunches in a week!

    I love that you added chocolate to banana bread….we could totally get crazy and throw some peanut butter in the bread too 🙂

    We always seem to have bananas past their prime around here and I’m always trying to find a new way to use them. This bread looks great! An awesome twist on normal banana bread!

    What a great recipe! The combination of bananas, coconut and chocolate sounds fantastic. I don’t normally like coconut but that sounds good! I’d love to try the virgin coconut oil but all we have here is the refined kind. Oh well. It works and I suppose it’s better than butter…
