Equipment

1 9x5-inch loaf pan Lined with parchment for easy removal
1 Mixing bowls One for wet and one for dry ingredients
1 Rubber spatula For folding the batter gently
1 Fork or masher For mashing ripe bananas
1 Cooling rack Prevents soggy bottom after baking

Ingredients

3 Very ripe bananas Mashed
½ cup Unsalted butter Melted
½ cup Granulated sugar Packed
¼ cup Brown sugar
2 Large eggs Room temperature
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
¾ cup All-purpose flour Spoon and level for accuracy
½ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder Sifted
1 teaspoon Baking soda
¼ teaspoon Salt
¾ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips Divided – some for topping

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas, then whisk in melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Add in most of the chocolate chips, saving some for the top.
Pour batter into the pan and top with remaining chocolate chips (and banana slices if desired).
Bake for 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
