Preparation
Step 1
Peel and mash bananas.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine sugars with oil. And whisk in eggs, one at a time. Then, add in the vanilla and whisk to combine. Also, fold in mashed bananas.
Step 3
Combine flour, cocoa powder and baking powder in a bowl. Then, fold in half of the flour mixture, followed by half of the yoghurt or milk.
Finally, fold in the second half of flour and yoghurt/milk.
Step 4
Pour into a loaf tin and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 40-45 minutes until skewer inserted has no trace of wet batter. As the banana content is quite high, the skewer would not be completely clean but will definitely have sticky traces.
Over ripened bananas have a mellow sweetness and moistness that is essential for banana bread. Because it’s chocolately and slightly fudgy, it tastes fantastic warmed up and served with some vanilla ice cream. Like a brownie. But healthier!
