Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Mix in the egg, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush the raspberries too much.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (avoid the melted chocolate or raspberries for accurate testing).
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your delicious Dark Chocolate Raspberry Banana Bread!
