Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas with a fork until they are gooey and liquid-like.
- Add eggs, vanilla, honey, and yogurt. Whisk until everything is well combined, and there are no lumps. Then stir in the cherries.
- Slowly stir in the dry ingredients: cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and sea salt, and mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and distribute evenly.
- Put into the oven and bake for 60 - 65 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
