Ingredients

  • 2 bananas overripe
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips I like milk!, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.
  • Using either a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer, mash the bananas in a large bowl until completely smooth.
  • Add in the melted butter, sugar and egg. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Slowly mix in the flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt. The batter will be extremely thick at this stage.
  • Slowly mix in the milk until the batter is smooth and velvety.
  • Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
  • Pour into a greased 9x5 loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake at 375° for 45 minutes.
  • Cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

  1. If your pans are smaller, you'll be able to make 2 loaves with this recipe! Smaller loaves mean less cook time, I would try for 20 minutes and then check on them ever 5 minutes or so until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
