Description
Moist and easy banana bread loaded with melted dark chocolate, cocoa, and both semi-sweet and white chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 360 g (about 3) very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 30 g (1/4 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 113 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
- 2 large eggs (about 100 g)
- 5 g (1 tsp) baking powder
- 3 g (1/2 tsp) baking soda
- 4 g (3/4 tsp) kosher salt
- 85 g (3 oz) dark chocolate, melted
- 120 g (3/4 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 60 g (1/3 cup) white chocolate chips
- 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease the loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mash the bananas until mostly smooth. In another bowl, whisk the butter, oil, and sugar, then incorporate the eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas.
- Melt the dark chocolate and whisk it into the wet mixture.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before lifting it out and cooling completely.
Notes
For maximum sweetness and moisture, use very ripe bananas. To prevent the chocolate chips from sinking, coat them in flour before folding into the batter.
