Directions

  1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Mix wet and dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—a few streaks of flour are okay. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve, and enjoy the best of both worlds!

Pro Tips

  • Use overripe bananas: The spottier the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be[reference:3].
  • Don’t overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the bread dense. Fold just until the dry ingredients disappear.
  • Add a swirl: For a marbled effect, reserve some banana bread batter and swirl it into the brownie batter before baking.
  • Make it extra fudgy: Add a handful of chocolate chunks or a drizzle of chocolate ganache on top.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
