MOCHA BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; dust with flour and tap out the excess.
• Combine the 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup espresso powder, the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the granulated sugar, oil, bananas, eggs and vanilla in another large bowl until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture, a third at a time, until just combined after each addition. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake until the bread starts to puff and is just set at the edges, about 40 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F, then continue to bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes more. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely, about 3 hours. Flip the bread out of the pan and place onto a serving platter.
• Just before serving, mix the confectioners' sugar with the remaining 2 tablespoons espresso powder and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth. Spread the glaze on top of the banana bread and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
