Why it fits
A dark, berry streaked loaf feels generous and special while still belonging to the comfort food canon.
01 Gather
Ingredients
Makes 2 generous servings
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chunks
02 Make
The good part
- 01
Heat oven to 350°F and line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- 02
Whisk bananas, eggs, butter, sugar, and vanilla; fold in flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt just until combined.
- 03
Pat strawberries dry, toss with 1 teaspoon flour, and fold them in with two thirds of the chocolate.
- 04
Bake 50 to 58 minutes, topping with remaining chocolate halfway through, until a tester has moist crumbs but no wet batter.
03 Know before you cook
Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Raspberries or cherries can replace strawberries.
- Use neutral oil instead of melted butter for a dairy free loaf.
Keep covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freeze slices for up to 2 months.
