Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a standard loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until they reach a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Add the melted unsalted butter, egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Sift together the all-purpose flour, Dutch cocoa powder, baking soda, and kosher salt into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50–60 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
