This Chocolate Banana Bread is made with cocoa powder, bananas, and a sprinkle of magic. It’s rich, decadent, and will leave you questioning why you ever bothered with regular bread. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a midnight snack– seriously, it’s that versatile!
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a loaf pan and grease it with a little butter or oil to prevent sticking. We don’t want our masterpiece stuck in the pan!
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. If you’ve got some pent-up frustration, this is the perfect way to let it out!
- Mix the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Whisk in the baking soda and salt.
- Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients look friendly and well mixed. They should be happier than a banana in a chocolate factory.
- Sprinkle the flour and cocoa powder over the mixture and gently fold it in. If you want a little extra chocolaty joy, stir in some chocolate chips too!
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will start smelling like pure bliss!
- Allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Try to resist stealing a slice too early— patience is a virtue!
Slice it up, serve it warm, and enjoy this decadent Chocolate Banana Bread. It’s sure to turn your day from drab to fab in no time! Who knew bread could be this exciting? Get ready for a taste explosion!
