Ingredients
Scale
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Stir in the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, and mix well.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in.
Add the flour and cocoa powder, and stir until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
