Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F. Prepare a 9×5 loaf pan by spraying it with non-stick baking spray and lining it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a small bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
In another medium bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until thick; then mix in mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
Add eggs one at a time while thoroughly mixing. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Fold in chocolate chips gently before pouring batter into prepared loaf pan; sprinkle extra chips on top if desired.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
