Servings 1 9″x 5″ Loaf
Ingredients
- 165 g whole wheat flour
- 20 g cornflour
- 20 g Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 100 g caster sugar or natural brown sugar
- 150 ml milk at room temperature
- 120 ml Oil
- 4 medium sized ripe bananas - mashed (about 1 cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 °C. Prepare a 9″x 5″ loaf pan either with butter or cooking spray or with parchment paper that slightly hangs outside for easy removal later.
- Sift together whole wheat flour, cornflour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt at least 2-3 times. Keep aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and milk till combined. Add the oil and vanilla and whisk till combined.
- Add the mashed bananas and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients in two parts and fold gently with a spatula.
- Reserve a handful of chocolate chips and add the rest into the batter and fold gently.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of the batter.
- Bake it at 180°C for 40-45 minutes until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. If you feel the bread is browning too much on the top, tent it with a foil after about 30 minutes in the oven.
- Remove from oven and allow bread to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before removing it to cool it completely on a wire rack.
- This chocolate banana bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 5-6 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 6 months.
