Ingredients
Scale
- 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in both types of chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra fudgy texture, use slightly underripe bananas.
- If your oven runs hot, check the bread at 50 minutes.
- You can substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with almond flour for a slightly different texture.
