Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Overripe bananas
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
