Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Gather all your ingredients and make sure your bananas are nicely ripe—there’s no need for precision in mashing, just use a fork or potato masher until they are smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For a fabulous presentation, slice the bread evenly and serve on a beautiful platter.
