Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper (leaving an overhang to pull the bread out of the pan) and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork and add the egg, vanilla, butter, oil and greek yogurt. Whisk until combined.
Add the sugar and the brown sugar, whisk well for about 1 minute until fully incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of the wet ingredients and mix or fold gently just until combined and some streaks of flour remain.
Fold in the chocolate chips and mix to distribute well. Continue folding gently until there are no more streaks of flour in your batter. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into your prepared pan and top with additional chocolate chips. Bake for 50-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with just a few crumbs.
Remove from the pan and let cool for 20 minutes in a wire rack. Let the bread sit inside the pan while it's cooling. One cooled, gently pull the sides of the parchment paper overhang and place on top of a wire rack to cool completely.
Bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for about 5 days.

Notes
This recipe can be made into muffins. Just portion your batter into muffin tins, fill each muffin cavity with 2/3 of the batter, and bake for around 20-25 minutes or until the muffin springs back when pushed gently with a finger, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with just a few crumbs.
