Equipment

  • 1 Loaf pan 9x5-inch size for best results
  • 1 Mixing bowls Medium and large sizes for dry and wet ingredients
  • 1 Whisk For combining wet and dry ingredients
  • 1 Spatula For folding chocolate chips and scraping the batter
  • 1 Cooling rack To allow the bread to cool evenly

Ingredients
  

  • For the ingredient section you can add the following items:
  • Dry Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Wet Ingredients:
  • 3 large ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Add-ins:
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips plus extra for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prepare:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Whisk thoroughly to ensure the cocoa is evenly distributed and there are no lumps.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients:
  • In a separate large bowl, mash 3 large bananas. Add:
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a soft and tender bread.
  • Add Chocolate Chips:
  • Fold in ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips to enhance the chocolate richness.
  • Bake the Bread:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for an added touch of indulgence.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before slicing for best results.
