Start by mashing 2 ripe bananas with a fork until you get a puree. Add the sugar, sparkling water, oil, lemon juice, and zest and mix well.
Add the flour, cocoa, and baking soda, stirring gently until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Pour about three-fourths of the mixture into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Place the remaining banana in the center and cover with the remaining mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Let the banana bread cool for a few minutes in the pan, then remove it and allow it to cool completely on a rack.
Enjoy your meal!
tips and storage:
If you wish, you can enrich your banana bread with chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added crunchiness and deliciousness.
This dessert keeps perfectly in an airtight container for 2-3 days, but it’s so good it will be gone in no time! 😋
