Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder*
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 bananas ((the more ripe the better!))
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream**
  • 1 tablespoon milk ((whatever kind you have on hand))
  • 2 eggs, (large)
  • 6 tablespoons butter, (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips ((optional garnish))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and mist a 5-cup loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  • Place the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Mash the bananas in a smaller bowl, and stir together with the sour cream, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
  • Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients in the larger bowl, and fold together just until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top, and bake until the loaf springs back when gently pressed and a skewer inserted in the thickest part comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (approx. 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes).
  • Cool for about 20 minutes in the pan, then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
