Ingredients

3 medium bananas overripe
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place a piece of parchment paper in the pan and let it hang over the two sides of the loaf pan. They will act as handles to pull the loaf out.
In a large bowl, add in the ripe 3 medium bananas and mash them with a fork.
Add in the1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup granulated sugar. Mix with a hand mixer until combined.
Add in the 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream. Mix until incorporated then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add in the 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until incorporated.
Stir in 1 cup milk chocolate chips. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips as well.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of milk chocolate chips on top of the batter.
Place into the oven and bake for 1 hour 12 minutes or until done. Place a toothpick into the center of the loaf and if it comes out clean or with moist crumbs, it is done. If it comes out with batter, give it an additional few minutes before testing again.
Let the chocolate chip banana bread cool completely and then pull out of the loaf pan. Cut and serve. If you cut it while it's still hot, you won't get clean slices, but it will still taste delicious.
