Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 large)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the melted butter into the banana mixture and stir well. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  6. Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, but no wet batter.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best moisture and flavor.
  • For an extra fudgy texture, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped dark chocolate instead of some of the chips.
  • If the top begins to brown too quickly during baking, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes.
