Meghan Markle's banana bread recipe is one of the most searched for recipes in the world right now. Her homemade banana bread, which she brought as a hostess gift to one of the stops on her Australia tour this month, is said to contain ginger and chocolate chips, and was a hit with the guests who got to try it. She is reported to have baked the bread herself at night in the kitchen of the Admiralty House in Sydney, Australia. The Admiralty house is the official residence of the Governor-General of Australia, and is where Harry and Meghan stayed during the first stop of their trip.
The Duchess has not shared her exact recipe (yet!), but Inside Edition asked me to appear on the show yesterday to bake this very similar Ginger and Chocolate Chip Banana Bread so that the producers could taste the royal combination themselves.
For the best flavor, I used a mix of grated fresh ginger and chopped candied ginger. If you prefer, you can also substitute ground ginger instead. Ginger is a popular ingredient in quite a few British desserts like shortbread and sticky toffee pudding, so it makes sense that Meghan would add it her otherwise all-American chocolate chip banana bread recipe. It's the perfect mix of both her worlds!

Chocolate Chip and Ginger Banana Bread This chocolate and ginger banana bread recipe was inspired by the homemade banana bread Meghan Markle brought as a gift on one of the stops of her tour in Australia. Ingredients 3 very ripe bananas, mashed 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted 2/3 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs, beaten 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger OR 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 1/4 cup candied ginger, finely chopped (optional) 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan with butter or baking spray and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and evenly combined. Add the grated ginger, flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Stir just until completely combined with no dry spots. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped candied ginger (if using). Pour batter into greased loaf pan and bake 60 minutes, or until bread has risen, is golden brown, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from loaf pan and let cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.What to do with yet another bunch of overripe bananas? Well, of course we'll use them to make a heavenly loaf of moist banana bread! But this isn't just any banana bread.
This particular banana bread incorporates big chunks of semi-sweet chocolate and nuggets of chewy sweet ginger for a surprisingly simple banana bread recipe with a punch of flavor.

Perhaps the best part of this banana bread loaf is those bits of chewy crystallized ginger sprinkled throughout. It's surprising and delightful all at the same time!
Ginger is a treasure trove of flavor, adding a punch of spicy heat to this bread. Crystallized ginger is fresh ginger that's been soaked in a solution of sugar and water then coated in sugar. The sugar softens the ginger, which is tough and fibrous when fresh.
Banana Bread With Chocolate And Crystallized Ginger » Share & Remember
Crystallized ginger can be found in most grocery stores in the dried fruit section. It's also readily available on Amazon. The ginger can be difficult to chop because it's quite sticky. If you have a difficult time chopping the ginger, pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds then pulse in a food processor.
I recommend using a chocolate baking bar rather than chocolate chips for this recipe. Once chopped the baking bar will create chunks of chocolate of all different sizes as well as chocolate shavings that will incorporate chocolate flavor throughout your banana bread. If you only have chocolate chips, don't worry - those will work as well.
Dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate can also be used if you prefer the flavor. I would not recommend milk chocolate in this recipe as it's too sweet.

To make this moist banana bread recipe with chocolate and ginger, start by spraying a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray then lining with parchment paper. Spraying the loaf pan first allows the parchment paper to stick and sit nicely in the pan.
Next, whisk together the dry ingredients, chopped chocolate, and crystallized ginger in a large bowl and set aside. Coating the chocolate and ginger in the flour mixture prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf when baking.
Candied Ginger & Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
In the bowl of stand mixer or in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Stop to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, as needed.
Add the two eggs and vanilla, beating well until incorporated. Next, add the mashed banana, mixing to incorporate. Stir in the flour mixture just until combined. Lastly, stir in the sour cream.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the loaf. If wet batter sticks to the skewer, continue baking a few minutes longer. If the top of the loaf is getting too brown before the loaf is done baking, lightly cover the top of the loaf with a piece of aluminum foil while the loaf finishes baking.

Once fully baked, lift the loaf out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Yes! Use a mini loaf pan instead of a standard one pound, 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Grease the sections with softened butter or spray with nonstick spray then add the batter, dividing evenly between the loaf sections. This recipe should yield about 3-4 mini loaf cakes. Bake for 28-32 minutes, checking for doneness and baking for longer, if needed. Once cooled, wrap the mini loaves in wax paper or parchment paper, tie with kitchen twine and give as gifts.
Mini loaves should bake for about 28-32 minutes. The amount of time will depend on the size of the mini loaf pan and the actual temperature of your oven.
Protein Gingerbread Banana Bread
Yes! This recipe will make for great banana muffins. Line a 12-cup muffin tin and fill the cups ⅔ full with banana bread batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350ºF, rotating the muffin tin halfway through baking. Depending on the size of the muffin cups and the temperature of your oven (not the temp you set it to, but the actual temp of your oven as measured by an oven thermometer), the bake time may be more or less.
I have not tried making this recipe vegan. To try it, I would recommend the following substitutions: dairy-free dark chocolate, vegan butter, flax eggs, and vegan sour cream or yogurt.
I have not tried making this recipe gluten-free, however, I have had a lot of luck using cup-for-cup or measure-for-measure gluten-free flour in baking recipes like this one. Try Bob's Red Mill brand.
Chocolate Chunk Chai Banana Bread.
Once completely cool, wrap the banana bread in a a double layer of plastic wrap and store at room temperature for a couple of days. Place in the fridge if storing for up to one week. This loaf freezes really well, too! To freeze, wrap tightly in a double layer of plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe ziptop bag for up to 3 months. These layers of protection help prevent freezer burn. Thaw at room temperature then warm for 10 minutes in a 350 degree F oven or until warmed through.
You can omit the crystallized ginger and add 2 teaspoons of ground ginger instead. I have not tried using fresh ginger in this recipe, however, I would recommend using half the amount of ginger called for in the recipe, as fresh ginger can be quite strong in flavor. I would also recommend chopping or mincing it finely before adding it to the batter.
