A rich and cozy banana bread that combines deep cocoa and a hint of espresso for a chocolatey treat.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf 1x

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 temp)
  • 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

  1. Mix the dry ingredients together.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients together.

Notes

Using very ripe bananas enhances natural sweetness. Toss chocolate chips with flour to keep them suspended in the batter. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
