Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 2 to 3 brown bananas
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sourdough discard optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan or prepare with parchment paper,
  • In a medium bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, mash the bananas. Add melted butter and oil and mix until combined.
  • Mix in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined. Fold in ¾ cup of chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Add the remaining chocolate chips to the top of the loaf.
  • Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a fork inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. You may have some melted chocolate chips on the fork, that’s fine. Oven times will vary.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool before serving.

Notes

This recipe is sourdough discard friendly, if you have some discard to use up.
