Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 60 milliliters milk
• 100 grams chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently on low speed until combined.

Step 7

Stir in the milk, followed by the mashed bananas, until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 11

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Banana Chocolate Loaf on its own or with a spread of butter!
