1/2 cup brewed espresso

1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
Add the melted butter and mix well.
Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the brewed espresso.
Fold in the flour and chocolate chips until just combined.
