ingredients

• 4-5 bananas (as ripe as you can find them)

• 1 egg

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

• 3 tbsp brown sugar

• 2 tbsp white sugar (I've successfully used 1:1 sugar substitutes like monkfruit sugar before too)

• 2 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

• 1-1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp cocoa powder

• (optional) chocolate chunks

steps

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, peel and add your bananas and mash them. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until completely combined.

3. In a small mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk well to combine.

4. Pour the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Using a spatula, fold to mix until no flour clumps remain. Pour half back into the smaller mixing bowl.

5. In the smaller mixing bowl, add the cocoa powder and fold to mix it in. In both bowls, add chocolate chunks and fold.

6. Oil a standard sized loaf pan or use nonstick spray. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to alternate between the two batters when adding into the loaf pan.

7. Bake for 35 minutes or until a wooden skewer (or chopstick) comes out clean - it might have chocolate on it which is fine but you don't want to see any bananas/batter. Let cool before slicing. Enjoy!
