3 medium to large very ripe bananas

1/2 cup melted butter (115g)

3/4 cup brown sugar (145g)

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup (125g) flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1 cup ( 170g) semi sweet , bittersweet chocolate chunks or chips.

Heat your oven to 350F. Butter a 9 x 5 inch loaf  pan or spray it with a non-stick baking spray.

Mash bananas in the bottom of a large bowl. Whisk in the melted butter, then brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.

Sift baking soda, salt, cinnamon, flour & cocoa powder, sift over the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in chocolate  chunks or chips.

Pour into the Prepared pan and bake 55 to 65 minutes, until a tester or toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out batter free.  ( A melted chocolate chip smear is expected, however).

Cool in the pan for 10- 15 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and invert it out onto a cooling rach.

Serve Warm or at room temperature
