Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup melted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

A pinch of salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Banana Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with melted butter. Mix until well combined.

      Add Sugars and Egg: Stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar, blending well. Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, continue mixing until smooth.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, all-purpose flour, and cocoa powder.

          Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the banana mixture. Stir just until combined; do not overmix.

            Fold in the Goodies: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool Down: Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve your decadent double chocolate banana bread warm or at room temperature. It’s perfect on its own or with a dollop of cream cheese spread!
