Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups bread flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
- 4 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Place oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder together in a large bowl.
- Mix mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla in a separate bowl until combined.
- Pour banana mixture into dry ingredients and stir until just combined, with some streaks of flour remaining. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Scrape batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips evenly over the top of the loaf.
- Bake 55-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife along the edges and turn out onto a wire rack and let cool for 1 hour before slicing with a bread knife.
Notes
If you don't have bread flour, you can swap in all-purpose flour.
