Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas (mashed)
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 85 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee or espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix well until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee or espresso powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks, ensuring they are 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 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or 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 before slicing.
Serve slices of mocha banana bread as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
