Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mash 3 to 4 very ripe bananas until smooth, yielding 1 to 1.5 cups of puree.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter, and sugar until smooth.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Transfer the batter to the greased loaf pan and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
