Ingredients
- 3-4 ea Bananas I keep mine frozen
- 8 tbsp Butter melted
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 ea Egg room temperature
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Flour
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Dark Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt Only use if you used unsalted butter
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips optional
- 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts optional
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients
- In a bowl, mash peeled bananas with a fork or with a KitchenAid paddle
- Mix in the egg, sugar, oil, vanilla and butter (just make sure butter is room temp after melting so you don't to cook the egg)
- In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients together; flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda
- Mix ⅓ of the dry ingredients with the wet, scraping down the bowl before adding another scoop of the flour mixture.
- Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (optional)
- Grease 1 large loaf pan or 2 smaller pans (batter should fill ¾ to top)
- Bake 350F until a toothpick comes out clean (just make sure you don't hit a choc chip) 1 large loaf should take 55 -60 minutes and 2 smaller loaves will take approximately 35-40 minutes. Once mine get close, I just shut the oven off and leave the loaves in oven for approximately another 10 min, loaves always come out perfectly moist!
- Let the loaves cool on the counter for 45 min
