Jen from Baked by an Introvert back with another great recipe for you! I am a huge fan of baking with bananas. Seriously, it seems like I create one banana inspired recipe a week. From muffins to cupcakes to cookies, I’m hooked on all things banana.

I had some over ripe bananas on my counter so I decided to whip up a super moist bread.

This is not like your typical banana bread. There’s coconut oil in this bread. There’s half brown sugar and half white sugar. There’s chocolate and chai spices. Then to take it to a whole new level, there are bits of caramel filled chocolate chips throughout. Yes, this is one indulgent banana bread.

You are certain to fall in love with this recipe! It’s dense and full of flavor. Packed with 3 large over ripened banana, there’s a burst of flavor in each bite. It’s mouthwatering. This chocolate chai banana bread is a nice alternative.

Do you already have a favorite banana bread in your repertoire? I’d love to hear about! If you don’t, then tell me about a time when you ate something so memorable you still think about it.
