- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas well. Mix in the brown sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla, making sure to bread apart any lumps of brown sugar.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Don't skip the sifting. This will help break apart any fine lumps of cocoa powder or flour.
- Begin gradually adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. After all wet and dry ingredients are combine, fold in 2/3 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips for the top of the loaf.

- Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature before removing from the pan. Use the sides of the parchment paper to lift the banana bread out of the pan. Slice and enjoy.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. Will keep for up to 5 days.

Notes
Feel free to substitute milk or dark chocolate chips in place of the bitter-sweet. After testing several loaves, we found that bitter-sweet chocolate chips tasted the best and were most complimentary to this chocolate chip banana bread recipe. This is certainly subjective, so customize to your flavor preference.
