The holidays invite us to slow down, warm up the kitchen, and bake something comforting to share with the people we love. This Chocolate Banana Bread is one of those recipes — simple, dependable, and deeply satisfying.

It’s the kind of bake that fills your home with the aroma of ripe bananas and melted dark chocolate, making it feel instantly festive. Best of all, it works every time, whether you’re an experienced baker or just getting started.

We love using our Velvet Dark Chocolate Bar, finely cut into small pieces, so every slice melts with rich, smooth chocolate goodness.
