3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
5. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped chocolate, if using.
6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate on top if desired.
7. Bake for 60–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

9. Slice and enjoy with your favorite coffee!

Dr. Kesha's Tip: Use very ripe bananas (lots of brown spots) for the best flavor and moisture!
