Sabrina’s Tips
I always make sure not to over-mix my batter once the dry ingredients are added. This keeps my banana bread soft, moist, and tender instead of dense! Additionally, I stick a toothpick in the center, and when it comes out clean or just with moist crumbs on it the baking time is done.

About this Recipe
Chocolate chip banana bread is wonderful enough on its own, but adding the rich coffee flavor to it with instant coffee just takes it to a whole new level. The bread is perfectly moist, sweet, and wonderfully easy to make. Just whisk the batter together and pop the loaf in the oven, it will be ready in just an hour! It’s so fun trying out new baked goods whenever you have bananas that are starting to get too ripe to eat. There’s just no end to the delicious ways you can use them, and they always make the recipes perfectly tender and moist. This particular combo of coffee and banana is unbelievably delicious. In fact, you can also try my Mocha Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins if you want the same taste and texture but baked into simple, portable muffins.
How to Store
- Serve: You can keep the bread at room temperature for up to 2 days. Wrap the loaf in plastic wrap and keep it in a dry, cool place so that it stays moist.
- Store: Put the bread in an airtight container, or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: To freeze the bread, wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap, then put that in a freezer bag. It will stay good for up to 3 months.
Variations
- Chocolate Chips: Instead of regular semisweet chocolate chips you can use milk or dark chocolate chips for a different kind of chocolate flavor.
- Chocolate Banana Bread: Along with the chocolate chips, you can add some extra chocolatey flavor to the recipe by mixing unsweetened cocoa powder into the batter. ½ cup of cocoa powder should be plenty to make deliciously chocolatey bread. However, you also want to reduce the amount of flour in the recipe to make sure you don’t have too many dry ingredients in the recipe.
- Gluten-Free Banana Bread: If you want to make the bread for a gluten-free diet, just replace flour in the recipe with oat flour, coconut flour, almond flour, or whatever your preferred gluten-free substitute is.
