Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (166 grams) (spooned & leveled)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder (27 grams)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (112 grams) (melted & cooled to room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (100 grams)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cup mashed bananas (300 ml) (about 3 bananas)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (60 ml)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (180 grams)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C or 170C fan forced). Line the bottom of a 9x5 inch (23x12.5 cm) loaf pan with baking paper. Grease the sides of the pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract until there are no lumps of sugar or pieces of egg.
  • Whisk the sour cream and mashed bananas into the melted butter mixture.
  • Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Then pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently fold the ingredients together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
  • When the ingredients look about 80-90% combined, gently stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour/spoon the batter into your prepared pan. 
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean (minus any melted chocolate chips). Oven times vary, so don't just go by the time.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before removing from the pan and cutting into slices.
