Like many others, I start my day off with a hot cup of joe. Adding a touch of sweetness can make it so much more enjoyable, and this new chocolate caramel flavor makes my morning cup taste just like my favorite candy. 

But, why stop there? I decided to take the classic banana bread my family loves so much and take it to the next level by adding chocolate and caramel. The end result was amazing and a total game-changer! 

Not only is this dessert incredibly delicious, but it’s also a healthier alternative to processed sweets. By using fresh ingredients and making it from scratch, you can enjoy the sweet flavors you crave without guilt. It’s great for a breakfast treat with your coffee, or dessert after dinner. 

Ingredients You Need:

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 T. margarine, melted
  • 1/3 C. Chocolate Caramel coffee creamer
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 C. sugar
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • 1-2 T. cacao powder, to taste
  • 2 C. flour
  • 1/4-1/2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: caramel sauce

It smells heavenly!

Allow to cool on a cooling rack for about 20 minutes before slicing. 

The result? Moist, chocolatey, caramel goodness. Mmmmmm….

Disclaimer: I hate the word moist as the next person, but there just isn’t any better word to describe it!  What is a good synonym? Help!

If you want you could drizzle a little caramel on each slice before you serve it up. YUM.

I’m glad I got photos right away, because this whole loaf was gone within 24 hours.

I love that you can switch up the flavor every time with one quick ingredient swap. Can you say Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread?! Just use International Delight® REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cup. How about a chocolate coconut version? Swap in some International Delight® Almond JoyTM!

Oh. My. Heavens.

      Hi Delores – thank you for stopping by! Sorry for any confusion – you are correct: the two baking times listed depend on whether you choose to use a bread loaf pan or a 9×9″ baking pan. I usually like to bake ours in a 9×9″ pan and slice it into 16 pieces of bread to serve. I hope that helps!

    • fivemarigolds says:

      Absolutely, I’ve found that with this recipe I can use margarine and butter interchangeably. I mostly use butter for baking these days, but I’ve made this recipe for so many years that I kind of get stuck in my old ways of using the original ingredient of margarine!
