Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 large ripe bananas, well mashed (about 1-3/4 cups)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F degrees and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, vanilla and espresso powder (if using) together until they are well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and allspice until well combined.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture, just until blended, and then stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Put the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the bread is fairly firm springs back when pressed with your finger. (Mine took 70 minutes.)
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Cut into 12 even slices.
