Equipment

  • 9 x 5 Loaf Pan
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Dutch process cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 large brown bananas (1 ½ cups mashed)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • ¼ cup canola vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips divided

Instructions
 

  • Heat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Add the melted butter and oil and stir until combined. Stir in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, don't overmix. Stir in ¾ cup of the chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips over the top of the bread. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove from the pan. Let the bread cool on the wire cooling rack until slightly warm.
  • Cut into slices and serve. Note-the bread will keep on the counter, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 4 days. This bread also freezes well.

Notes

To freeze, cool the bread completely and wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost before slicing.
