2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup banana very ripe, mashed
3/4 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup brown sugar, light or dark, packed
1/4 cup corn syrup, dark
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract pure
1/3 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons walnuts or pecans, chopped
1 x powdered sugar

Directions

OVEN: 400 Lightly oil an 8x12-inch or 7x11-inch baking pan or coat it with nonstick cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.

In another bowl, whisk mashed banana, buttermilk, brown sugar, corn syrup, oil and vanilla.
