Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with olive oil or butter.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and espresso powder.
- In another bowl, cream together the olive oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time.
- Mash the ripe bananas and fold into the wet mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving a handful for later.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top, optionally adding banana slices.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
