Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this step.
Step 3
Add granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Step 7
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top if desired.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for an added chocolatey finish.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Step 10
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
