Heat your oven to 180 degrees celsius. (360 Fahrenheit).
Line and or grease a loaf tin. I use a silicone loaf tin for this chocolate banana bread recipe
Start with the dry ingredients. Whisk or sift, or even fork together the flour, cocoa, and cinnamon.
Now for the wet ingredients. In a second bowl, mash your bananas.
Add the oil, vanilla extract and brown sugar to the bananas, mix until combined.
Mix the baking soda with 2 Tablespoons of hot water. Add this to the wet ingredients and stir well.
Add the wet ingredients to your dry ingredients. Combine them gently and fold through the chocolate chips.
Spoon the chocolate banana bread batter into a loaf tin. Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 40 mins, Or until the loaf has risen and when a skewer is inserted into the centre of the banana bread it comes out clean.
Cool on a rack before removing from the tin.
