Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 60 milliliters milk
- 100 grams chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently on low speed until combined.
Stir in the milk, followed by the mashed bananas, until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your Banana Chocolate Loaf on its own or with a spread of butter!
