Decadent Banana Chocolate Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Stir in the granulated sugar and melted butter until combined. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

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

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
