+## Instructions
+
+1. Heat oven to 350°F
+2. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
+3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
+4. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the melted butter and oil, stir until combined. 
+5. Stir in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
+6. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, don't overmix. 
+7. *Optional*: Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
+8. Pour batter into prepared pan, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the bread. 
+9. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean (You just don't want a lot of gooey batter. Check at 50 minutes)
+10. Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
+11. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove from the pan. Let the bread cool on the wire cooling rack until slightly warm. Cut into slices and serve.
