Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Grease a 900g (2lb) loaf tin and line the base with parchment paper.
-
Mash the bananas with a fork and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour with each egg to prevent curdling.
-
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Fold in the mashed bananas, chocolate chips, and milk until well combined.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve sliced and enjoy!
