Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash 3-4 ripe bananas until smooth, leaving a few small chunks for added texture.
  4. Add melted butter to the mashed bananas, followed by sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
