Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the yogurt or sour cream, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until no streaks of flour remain. Fold in the hot water and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
