CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with shortening or butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. In a separate large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or handheld potato masher. Add the melted butter, vegetable oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the bananas.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients stirring just until combined. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Top with the remaining chocolate chips
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a melted chocolate chip or with a few moist crumbs. Let the bread cool on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
Notes
Grease the loaf pan well. I use shortening to grease my pans, and it works very well.
For optimal taste, use good-quality chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks like Guittard or Ghirardelli.
Change it up and try peanut butter chips. So yummy!
