Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth with a few lumps. Stir in granulated and brown sugars until well combined.
- Add eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, stirring until fully blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and espresso powder until smooth.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes
For the best texture, do not overmix the batter. Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
