Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of good cocoa powder dutch processed if you can get it
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 3 very ripe brown bananas
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with non stick cooking spray
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients and set aside
- In another medium to large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the melted butter and vegetable oil. Stir well to combine. Add in the brown sugar, the egg, and the vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
- Fold 3/4 of the cup of the mini chocolate chips into the dry ingredients. This will help them incorporate into the bread throughout and not just all sink to the bottom.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and be careful not to over mix the batter.
- Pour the batter into the sprayed loaf pan. Spread evenly into the pan and then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips on the top of the batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It may have some melted chocolate on it, but not the bread batter. Cool down on a wire rack and then slice and ENJOY!
