Ingredients
- 3 large overripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.
Step 3
Stir in both the granulated and brown sugars, then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender bread.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve the banana bread once cooled. Enjoy as a delicious nut-free treat!
