📝 Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed (the riper, the better for sweetness!)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• Optional: chocolate chips for extra gooeyness

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until combined.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the loaf dense.
