YUM! This looks delicious, I love banana bread but I’ve never though about putting chocolate chips in it. What a brilliant idea. Can’t wait to make it.

Greg — I made the recipe in the photo with baking powder and it rose fine. Baking soda is usually only used in ingredients with an acid component, which this recipe doesn’t have — the baking soda reference in the original recipe was a typo.

DO NOT USE BAKING POWDER, IT WILL NOT RISE!!!! USE BAKING SODA, UNLESS OF COURSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO EAT A BRICK!

By far the best chocolate chip banana bread I have ever made. I lost the old recipe I had been using and decided it was time for a new one anyway. The only changes: I added a bit of cinnamon and cardamom (just a few dashes, nothing I would even worry to measure, but enough to taste) I was worried the bread would be more dry or not as naughty tasting with the wheat flour and canola oil BUT much to my surprise it was phenomenal. Even better than any of the old recipes I ever used for chocolate chip banana bread. This is simply one of the finest foods ever. Thanks so much! I really enjoy your blog!

How much baking soda is to be used in the choc. chip banana bread recipe? It seems to have been left out of the list of ingredients.
Thanks,
Judy

Thanks for the recipe! Found your site looking for ways to use my nearly black bananas–can’t beat chocolate chip banana bread. Off to make a couple loaves now!

In the ingredients list you say baking powder, but in the directions you say baking soda. Which is it.

Yum! I love the idea of adding less sugar than my regular recipe… and I have always just eye-balled it when it comes to substituting whole wheat flour for some of the all purpose! I do like to add a lil wheat germ, and almost always add (when it’s on hand anyhow) a handful of shredded coconut. So delish! Thank you for sharing!
