Steps for Chocolate Banana Bread

  • After peeling the bananas, take half a banana and set it aside; you will use it later for decoration. Then, in a large bowl, mash the bananas until you get a puree. On a plate, slice the half banana and add a little lemon to prevent it from turning brown.

  • In the same bowl, break the eggs, add the sugar and start blending with an electric mixer.

  • Gradually add the oil and the flour a little at a time. Now add the unsweetened cocoa and mix with the mixer turned off, then turn it on at low speed and mix well. Now add the baking powder and continue to blend until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.

  • Pour the batter into a 12×4 inch loaf pan, which we have previously greased and floured or also lined with parchment paper.

  • Decorate the surface with the slices of the half banana we set aside and bake in a preheated fan oven at 340°F for about 40/50 minutes.

  • After the time is up, check with a toothpick to verify the cooking. Let the banana bread rest for about 5 minutes with the oven door open before taking it out of the oven.

  • Allow it to cool well before slicing and serving. If you like, you can also dust it with powdered sugar.
