Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter, then let it cool slightly. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cooled melted butter to the mashed bananas, mixing well until combined.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream to the banana mixture. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.
Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs (but no wet batter).
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your rich, chocolatey banana bread!
