- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (192 grams)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (28 grams)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda (3.75 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (3 grams)
- 3 very ripe bananas mashed well (see note)
- 3/4 cup sugar (150 grams)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled (85.05 grams)
- 2 large eggs at room temperature and lightly whisked
- 1/4 cup sour cream room temperature (or plain yogurt) (61.3 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (4.2 grams)
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (170 grams) unsweetened chocolate chips can also be used
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan well with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together the bananas, cooled butter, eggs, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla.
3/4 cup sugar, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled, 2 large eggs at room temperature and lightly whisked, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Pour the bread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted slightly off-center in the bread comes out with just a few crumbs. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove and allow to cool on a cooling rack for 35 minutes before slicing and enjoying.
While you can ripen your bananas in the oven to make them more brown, please note that bananas get sweeter as they ripen. So fake ripening in the oven will make for a less-sweet bread. Read more about this here.
