Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it with coconut oil and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Whisk together thoroughly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth.
  4. Add sugar, eggs, melted coconut oil, and espresso to the mashed bananas and mix well until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while stirring gently. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Use heavily speckled ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture. Stir just until combined to avoid a dense texture.
