Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool on a wire rack..

Test a few times to make sure the bread is cooked through (and that what stuck to the knife was in fact batter and not a melted chocolate chip).

In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and mix just until combined.
