We love this chocolate glazed banana bread! Our favorite banana bread recipe made with plain greek yogurt, baked until tender and then drenched in a rich chocolate glaze. Tastes like a treat!
Your weekend treat is here!
This is our favorite banana bread made with plain greek yogurt or sour cream and drenched in a crackly chocolate glaze.
If you love chocolate chips IN your banana bread, now is the time to try this glaze!
It’s rich and decadent and adds an extra layer of fun to the classic.
Nothing quite screams “banana bread!” like the beginning of school does. It’s a snack I love to have on hand during these hectic times because it’s versatile. And it’s perfect in so many ways, whether it’s breakfast, eaten as a snack after school or when you want something sweet after dinner.
It’s also satisfying and a little snack that will stick for a bit!
My family loves this banana bread so much that I always make two loaves at a time. It’s a must! If I make one loaf, it will disappear within the hour. And it’s everyone’s fault. We just can’t get enough.
This banana bread is superb because of one special ingredient: sour cream. Or plain greek yogurt! I use both interchangeably and they add a level of moisture and tenderness that you can’t get otherwise.
They also up the satiety factor of the bread and that is key!
I also love this recipe because it only uses two bananas. No need for a whole bushel.
This is nothing new – I’ve shared our favorite recipe before. But it’s the glaze that takes everything OVER THE TOP.
There is something wonderful about this glaze. It reminds me of my grandma’s texas sheet cake glaze – the classic rich chocolate glaze that crackles and remains creamy with just a slight hint of texture.
It’s super delicious.
I wait until the banana bread is fully cooled, then I pour on the glaze. It needs about 20 minutes or so to set, and once that is done, it’s all yours.
The glaze makes the bread feel extra special and more like a treat. Which is this house, is always welcome!
It’s almost like a cross between banana bread and a chocolate glazed donut. HELLO.
Happy weekending with this one!
