Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Bananas (ripe)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or a potato masher.
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
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, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the banana bread remains tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, reserving a few for sprinkling on top if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for extra melty goodness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy this deliciously rich Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
