Ingredients

Scale

3–4 ripe bananas (mashed)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 large eggs
⅓ cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but slightly chunky.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until creamy.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
To create the marbled effect, divide half of the batter and mix in additional cocoa powder if desired. Layer both batters alternately in the prepared pan and swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.
