Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (with brown spots), mashed
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution and prevent clumping.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir granulated sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until well combined and smooth.
  4. Bring It All Together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, taking care not to overmix to avoid a dense bread. Then fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
  5. Bake Until Done: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting helps the bread set and flavors meld.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light, tender crumb.
  • Use room temperature egg for better batter consistency.
  • Check your oven temperature with a thermometer for even baking.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
