Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, honey, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Mix batter: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake for 45–55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Cool and slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
