    This is a delicious recipe. It's more cake-like than what you think of as traditional banana bread. I also find it needs more cooking time. I think it should be rated a little more than "easy" just for the time it takes and especially the clean up after - I used a lot of bowls!

    This recipe was not quite, what I expected. After reading all the reviews, I was excited but questioned the word ?Chunky? in the title. All the chocolate is to be melted and that leaves nothing chunky except the diced bananas. We all know that when bananas are cooked they are anything but chunky. I would not flour the pan, because it left a powdery feel to the exterior of the bread and with each bite, the initial taste is flour. This bread had a beautiful crumb, moist interior and a nice flavor. As everyone else, I found it took an additional 20 minutes to bake to ensure doneness in the center. Next time I would hold out half of the chocolate to fold into the mix with the last addition of the bananas. I had no problem with a standard loaf pan of 9x5x3.

    This is probably the best banana bread I have ever tasted. The bread isn't overly sweet, yet the chocolate adds an amazing bonus! A couple things...

    This definitely took me more than 20 minutes to prepare, yet it was still very simple. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and also threw in some pecan pieces...it was amazing! I doubled the recipe and made 2 loaves and like the other reviews, it needed to bake 70 minutes.

    I made the bread into muffins instead - used chocolate chips instead of melting chocolate (didn't have time. I made a double batch (yield - 26 muffins. Next time I'm going to add some chopped walnuts.

    used chocolate chips and folded in with the last banana chunks to save an extra step and they were fantastic - making another batch as I write this, this time with walnuts into little muffins...

    This was absolutely heavenly - perfect in every way! Since I had no buttermilk on hand, I used sour milk instead (1/3 cup milk + 1/3 tbsp lemon juice, and only 4oz of semi-sweet chocolate. It turned out great in one large loaf pan. Had to bake it for 8 minutes longer on convection bake. This is a new family favorite!

    I've made this several times and think it's the best BB recipe I've tried. I've tried recipes that call for adding choco chips. But the addition of melted chocolate really gave it a decadent flavor. I use 4 oz instead of 6. Add 6 oz for a stronger choco flavor. Needed about 70 minutes to cook completely.

    This banana bread is delicious! Love the chocolate and banana combo. May try it with chips instead sometime. Definetely needs to bake longer; at 50 minutes the center collapses.

    This recipe didn't really work for me. First of all, use 2 loaf pans if you're going to try it. One loaf pan caused batter to get all over my oven bottom. Second, swirl the chocolate after the batter is in the pans. It was just too messy otherwise. I may try this recipe again after knowing what I do now. Good luck!
