Glazed Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread is delicious, with the glaze or chocolate chunks or without. Super moist and full of banana chocolate flavor! This recipe is a definite keeper!
I think I have loved chocolate and banana together all of my life. As far as I am concerned they go perfectly together and I wish I could eat something like our glazed chocolate banana bread every day! I know. Not realistic but definitely a dream!
I just love this chocolate banana bread with or without the glaze or the extra chopped chocolate or chocolate chips inside! Still super moist chocolaty banana flavor in every bite!
We also make a version with a fabulous cream cheese swirl called our Glazed Chocolate Chunk Cream Cheese Banana Bread. We also have Our Favorite Banana Bread which can be made with or without chocolate chips or chunks. The glaze is divine even though you don't need to include that either!
This bread freezes beautifully even though I don't get a chance to freeze it that often! I usually will make the glaze when I am ready to serve it. I just find it is less messy that way but you can freeze this bread with the glaze too. Perhaps you have a method that isn't that messy I could try?
Regardless, I hope if you are ever in the mood for banana bread, of any kind, you will give one of these recipes a try and let me know what you think. I can't be the only one who thinks these recipes are totally delicious comfort food! Can I?
