One ripe banana and a little cocoa make a small chocolate loaf baked in a 10-ounce ramekin.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium banana mashed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon melted salted butter plus more to grease
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (1 ounce)

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-ounce ramekin and set it on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the mashed banana with the sugar. Whisk in the melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla.
  • Stir in the flour mixture just until combined, then stir in the chocolate.
  • Pour the batter into the ramekin and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before eating.
