Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Add the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas and whisk until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optionally, drizzle melted chocolate or dust with powdered sugar before slicing.

Notes
