Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×5 loaf pan with non-stick spray and parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract; mix well.
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Finally, stir in all the chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
