= Preparation & Bloomed Cocoa

Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F (top and bottom heat) or 160°C fan. Lightly grease a 23x10cm #loaf tin{} with a little melted @coconut oil{}.

In a #small cup{}, whisk @baking cocoa{2%tbsp} together with hot @espresso{1%shot} until completely smooth and bloomed. Set aside.

= Dry Ingredients & Bananas

In a #large mixing bowl{}, whisk together @all-purpose flour{170%g}, @sugar{75%g}, @vanilla sugar{1%packet}, @cornstarch{20%g}, @baking powder{1.5%tsp}, and @salt{1/2%tsp}.

Peel @bananas{2%ripe} and mash them thoroughly with a fork on a plate until smooth.

= Batter & Folding

In a #mixing bowl{}, whisk together @oat milk{100%ml}, melted @coconut oil{75%g}, and the bloomed espresso cocoa mixture.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture. Add the mashed bananas and stir for ~{3%minutes} until well combined.

In a #small dish{}, quickly stir together @baking soda{1%tsp} and @apple cider vinegar{1%tsp} (it will fizz up immediately), then fold into the batter.

Gently fold in @dark chocolate chips{50%g} with a spatula.

= Baking

Immediately pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the surface.

Peel the remaining @banana{1%ripe}, slice it in half lengthwise, and place both halves cut-side up gently on top of the batter.

Bake in the preheated oven for ~{45%minutes} until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Transfer the loaf to a #wire cooling rack{} and allow to cool completely before slicing into 12 slices.
