Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ripe bananas (mashed)
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In one bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
  3. In another bowl, mix wet ingredients: olive oil, sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and mashed bananas until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Toss chocolate chips in flour to prevent sinking and fold them into the batter.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
