- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate melted
- 2 large eggs room temperature

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Place some water into a pot over medium heat. Place a glass bowl in the pot (making a double boiler), then add the pieces of bittersweet chocolate. Stir often until just melted. Remove from the stove and set aside.
- Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter with a hand mixer (or stand mixer) in a bowl, then mix in the melted chocolate, eggs, bananas, and vanilla.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a tester inserted into the center of the bread comes out almost clean, 60-70 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the loaf pan. Continue to cool on a wire cooling rack.
- Once the bread has cooled completely, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Slice and serve. Enjoy.
