Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium mashed very ripe bananas (see note)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the two longer sides.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and butter. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until combined. Then stir in the mashed bananas and sour cream.
- Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir together until just incorporated and smooth. Don’t over-mix.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in all 3 different chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Top with a few more chocolate chips, if desired.
- Place in oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60-70 minutes (but start checking after 55 minutes! All ovens run differently).
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cook completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure bananas are very ripe for best flavor and texture.
