Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4-5 ripe bananas (2 cups mashed)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a parchment paper sling or spray with baking spray.
- Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. A few chunks here and it is fine.
- Add sugar, butter, and eggs one at a time, and using a handheld mixer whisk on low until combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl combine dry ingredients and add to wet ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Mix on low until everything combines.
- Pour into the prepared pan. Make a small cut lengthwise about ½ inch deep in the center of the bread. Decorate with chocolate chips.
- Bake for 1 hour and 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few breadcrumbs. Cool for 15 minutes in the baking dish and then transfer to a wire rack until cooled completely.

Notes
- Storage: Store this chocolate banana bread in a Ziploc bag or in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. Refrigerating it will help it last a day or two longer. After about 5 days, banana bread starts tasting stale, even if it has been wrapped tightly or kept in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Freeze: To freeze the whole loaf - Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or put it in an airtight container and place it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Simply defrost overnight in the refrigerator before bringing it to room temperature to slice. To freeze individual slices - slice the loaf when it has completely cooled and wrap each slice in plastic wrap. Place the slices in a Ziploc bag and put them in the freezer. Simply take out a slice when you want some banana bread and leave it on the counter to defrost. You can put it in the microwave for a minute to defrost quicker if you prefer.
