Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° and spray the bottom of a 9 x 5 baking dish with non stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter together until smooth.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder together, then add to banana mixture and mix on low until combined.

Bake for 1¼ hours, or until tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from baking dish after 10 minutes and place on wire rack to cool.

Notes

Tips

Use the ripest bananas possible for the richest flavor. Unless they're moldy, smell bad, or are oozing, they can't be too ripe!
Mix your wet and dry batter ingredients until just combined. Overmixing makes a tough loaf.
Fold your chocolate chips into your batter rather than mixing. Again, this helps avoid a tough loaf.
Give your loaf pan several firm taps around the sides and on the bottom to help ensure it fully releases before turning it out onto your rack.
