Ingredients

Units Scale

For the bread:

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus extra for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  4. Add final ingredients: Fold in sour cream and chocolate chips.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the loaf pan, top with extra chocolate chips if desired, and bake for 55–65 minutes.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the best flavor.
  • Experiment with additions like walnuts or peanut butter chips.
  • Store wrapped at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
