Servings: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 and 1/4 cups Mashed Ripe Banana
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 and 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Baking Cocoa aka Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or another large bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, and oil together to combine. It's best to use a stand mixer or electric mixer here.
- Mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract to the other wet ingredients and beat to combine.
- Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Grease a standard sized loaf pan with nonstick spray and dust with flour, then pour in batter.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes until top is cracked and bread is cooked through (when you gently touch the top it should spring back).
- Cool at least 15 minutes on a wire rack before slicing. Flavors will be more intense when bread has completely cooled.
Notes
To freeze a loaf of chocolate banana bread, allow it to cool completely first. Then wrap it in aluminum foil or place it in a freezer bag and store in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
