Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan with grease and parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then whisk in the sugar, egg, and melted butter.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix until no dry flour remains, folding in chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it’s ready.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
