Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas about 3 medium bananas
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melt
- 1/4 cup of canola oil
- 1 cup light brown Sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup large semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Place a loaf pan 9x5 inches in butter and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix together flour, baking powder and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. If you don't have the time to whisk, it is best to sift all ingredients. Set aside.
- Place the ripe bananas into a large bowl. Use a fork to smash them with your hands until they are in small pieces. Combine the slightly cooled butter, oil and vanilla with the egg. Stir until combined.
- Mix in brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to your wet ingredients. Mix gently using a spatula.
- Add 3/4 cup chocolate chips and chopped walnuts if desired.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Then sprinkle 1/4 cup of the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 50-60 minute or until a toothpick placed in the center of the bread comes away clean. After 50 minutes, start checking on the bread. If necessary, keep an eye on it for 5 minutes.
- After baking is complete, remove the pan and place it on a wire cooling shelf. Let the bread cool down in the pan for at least 15 minutes.
- You can easily remove the bread by running a knife along the edges.
- Cut into pieces and serve. Enjoy!
