Double-Chocolate Banana Bread

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

1 tsp. baking soda

1 1/4 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3)

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray bottom of 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In large bowl, beat sugar, eggs and oil at medium speed until mixed.  Beat in vanilla.  In medium bowl, stir together flour, cocoa and baking soda; beat into sugar mixture at low speed just until combined (batter will be very thick).  Stir in bananas and chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into pan.  Bake 60-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool 10 minutes.  Remove from pan;cool completely on wire rack.

This was super good and tasted like Costco's chocolate muffins.  I think next time I will add the bananas in with the egg mixture before I put in the flour mixture.  This way it gets a little more incorporated.  Not tons of banana flavor, but still yummy!
