Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp espresso powder
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup ripe bananas (mashed)
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips + a few extra for the top
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + a few extra for the top
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour (for dusting chocolate chips)
- ¼ banana (2 long thin slices off of a banana)
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and espresso powder until evenly combined.
- Beat olive oil with both sugars, then add eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and mashed bananas until smooth.
- Fold the dry mix into the wet just until combined; toss chocolate chips with 1 tbsp flour and gently fold them in.
- Pour batter into a prepared loaf pan and top with extra chips and thin banana slices sprinkled with 1 tsp sugar before baking.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. Dusting the chocolate chips helps keep them from sinking. Don’t overmix to keep the bread tender.
