Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Crack the eggs into the bowl with the mashed bananas and whisk until fully combined.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the banana mixture. Mix well until you have a smooth batter with no cocoa lumps.
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. The texture will firm up further as it cools.
Slice and serve as is, or pair with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
