Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup All Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 3 Bananas Brown and Spotty
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ cup Butter Melted
  • 1 tablespoon Coffee Cooled
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Semisweet

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8 inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Set that aside.
  • Mash the bananas well in a large bowl. Add the eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, and coffee. Mix well until fully combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips. Don’t overmix, it’s ok if there are a few lumps.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. Cool before serving.

Notes

  • The coffee brings out the flavor of the chocolate.  If you do not have coffee, you can omit the ingredient or add vanilla extract instead.
  • If the bread starts browning too quickly in the oven, tent a piece of aluminum foil over the bread to prevent it from browning too quickly.
  • Grease the loaf pan well.  This batter will tend to stick if not greased properly.
