Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Whisk in the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

  9. Let the bread cool in the pan briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture.Do not overmix the batter to keep the loaf tender.Add nuts or espresso powder for extra flavor.Allow the bread to cool fully for clean slices.
