Ingredients

Scale

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup Dutch process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 large brown bananas (about 1 ½ cups)
4 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
⅓ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan using shortening or butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas well. Mix in the melted butter, vegetable oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan.

Notes

Follow the directions closely to ensure your Chocolate Banana Bread turns out moist and rich. The key is in the quality of bananas—ensure they are ripe and brown for that perfect sweetness and texture. Folding the chocolate chips gently into the batter helps distribute them evenly without deflating the mixture.
