• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, and let it cool slightly before adding it to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Dee's Chocolate Banana Bread!
