Ingredients
The following ingredients have 10 Servings
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon espresso (optional — but I love the complex richness it adds to chocolate.)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips + 1/4 cup for sprinkling on top
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with a nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork and add the butter, brown sugar, and espresso powder. Stir until combined and then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients; flour cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined and fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top of the bread. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. I also begin checking at 50 minutes.
- Let the bread cool for at least 30 minutes before running a knife around the perimeter of the loaf pan and inverting the bread onto a cooling rack. Slice and serve.
