Servings: persons

1 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Dutch-process Cocoa
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
3 Large Brown Bananas (about 1 1/2 Cups Mashed)
1/4 cups Sour Cream
1/4 cups Canola Or Coconut Oil
3/4 cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
1 Large Egg, At Room Temperature
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cups Dried Cherries, Divided

1
Heat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, mash ripe bananas with a fork. Add sour cream and oil and stir until combined. Stir in brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
4
Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Don't over-mix. Stir in chocolate chips and 1/4 cup dried cherries.
5
Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup dried cherries over the top of the bread. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean.You might have some melted chocolate chips on the toothpick and that is fine. You just don't want a lot of gooey batter. Check at 50 minutes, just to be safe. Oven times vary.
6
Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove from the pan. Let the bread cool on the wire cooling rack until slightly warm. Cut into slices and serve.
