Double Chocolate Banana Bread

I call this my "Mary Poppins" bread..."Practically perfect in every way."
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3)
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350F. Spray bottom of 8x14 loaf pan with cooking spray (makes 1 extra large loaf, or you could do 2 pans and they will be a little smaller)

Beat sugar, eggs and oil in large bowl at medium speed until combined. Beat in banana and vanilla at low speed. Combine flour, cocoa and baking soda in medium bowl; beat into banana mixture at low speed just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into pan. Bake 60-70 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
