Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- Mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using a stand mixer (or hand mixer).
- Add eggs and vanilla; mix until fully incorporated.
- Stir in bananas by hand.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Using a spatula, gently fold flour into butter mixture. Do not overmix; there should still be a little flour visible when you are done.
- Add chocolate chunks / chips to batter, then gently fold in with spatula.
- Transfer batter to loaf pan; top with a few extra chocolate chunks / chips, if desired. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool bread before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
Check out info before this recipe cards for lots of tips and tricks, plus some tasty variations!
I used natural cocoa powder and a chopped up a Lindt candy bar for the chocolate chunks in this recipe. Dark or bittersweet chocolate will give you the richest flavor, however you may uses other types of chunks / chips as well, such as milk chocolate or even white chocolate.
