Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips for topping
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1 and 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 medium or 3 large)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips and mix until evenly coated.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Incorporate the yogurt (or sour cream), mashed bananas, and vanilla extract into the butter mixture until fully combined.
  6. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add the hot water to the batter, blending until smooth.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra rich flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the batter. Store leftover banana bread wrapped tightly in plastic for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week. To freeze, wrap slices individually and they can last up to 3 months.
