INGREDIENTS
3 large, ripe bananas
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Spray a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter
and stir to combine.
4. Add the brown sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt and whisk until
well combined.
5. Add 1 cup of the flour, stirring gently until the flour just disappears.
6. Pour half of the batter into a second bowl.
7. In one bowl of batter, add the remaining ¼ cup of flour and cinnamon.
Stir to combine. In the other bowl of batter, add the cocoa powder and
chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
8. Alternating between the two bowls, add spoonfuls of the batters into the
9-by-5 inch pan.
9. Using a butter knife, make a few figure-eights through the combined batters
to marble them.
10. Place the loaf pan into the oven and bake 50–55 minutes, until a toothpick
inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow the pan to cool
for 10 minutes. After cooling, run a knife around the edge of the pan and
invert the loaf onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool before serving.
