Ingredients
  

  • 1and ¼ cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • ½ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder not Dutch process
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for batter
  • 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips for topping
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream at room temperature
  • 1and ½ cups mashed bananas about 4 medium ripe bananas
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons hot water to loosen batter

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Mix in ¾ cup of chocolate chips. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the yogurt, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is combined.
  5. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients and hot water, beating on low until just combined. The batter should be thick.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 60-65 minutes, loosely covering with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent the top from over-baking. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1-2 hours before slicing and serving.
