Banana Bread Chocolate (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry items

01 - 125 ml of cocoa powder
02 - 250 ml of all-purpose flour
03 - A half a teaspoon of salt
04 - 2 teaspoons of baking powder

→ Wet ingredients

05 - A big egg
06 - 1.5 cups of mashed bananas (around 3)
07 - 65 ml of vegetable oil
08 - A teaspoon of vanilla extract
09 - 65 ml of melted butter

→ Extra additions

10 - 1 cup (250 ml) of brown sugar
11 - 125 ml of roughly chopped walnuts
12 - 1 cup (250 ml) of semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - Turn the oven on and get it heating up to 175°C.
02 - Oil a 23 x 13 cm loaf pan well.
03 - Grab a medium bowl and combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Keep it aside.
04 - Using a big bowl, mash up the bananas with a fork. Stir in the melted butter, the vegetable oil, the egg, and the vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
05 - Throw the brown sugar into your wet ingredients and stir until it's blended in.
06 - Slowly add the dry stuff into the wet mixture. Stir gently and avoid overmixing the batter.
07 - Fold in 3/4 of the chocolate chips along with the chopped walnuts. Don't overdo it.
08 - Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly on top.
09 - Pop it in the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes. Stick a toothpick in the center to check—it should come out clean.
10 - Let it chill out for a bit before slicing up. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer if needed.

# Notes:

01 - Mix the batter lightly to keep it soft and fluffy.
02 - Ripe bananas bump up the flavor.
