  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan with grease or parchment paper.
  2. Mash the overripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth, then mix in the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until creamy.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and cinnamon. Fold this into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the milk and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
