Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. 3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. 4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. 5. Mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until well combined. 6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. 7. Fold in the chocolate chips. 8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. 9. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 10. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
