Equipment
- 9×5-inch loaf pan
- mixing bowl
- mixer
- whisk
- spatula
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
- 0.5 cups unsweetened natural cocoa powder not Dutch process
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips for topping
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together until combined. Mix in ¾ cup (135g) chocolate chips. Set aside.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. With the mixer running on medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then beat in the yogurt, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until combined. Add the dry ingredients and hot water, and beat on low speed until combined. Batter is thick. Do not over-mix.
- Pour and spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top, down the center of the loaf.
