Sift 3.5 cups of all-purpose flour to prevent lumps.

Mash 6 super ripe bananas in a bowl until rough in consistency.

Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the mashed bananas and mix to combine, then set aside.

In a new bowl, crack 3 eggs and whisk for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and foamy.

Add 1 cup of brown sugar to the eggs and beat until it changes from dark brown to light consistency, about 3-5 minutes.

Add 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix.

Incorporate the melted butter and mix to combine.

Add the mashed banana mixture to the wet ingredients and mix.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing in one direction to avoid over mixing.

Once the batter thickens, gradually add milk until combined.

Add 2 cups of raisins and mix well.

Incorporate diced banana into the batter for added moisture and richness.

Prepare the loaf pan by coating it with butter and flour, shaking off excess flour.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Top the batter with dark chocolate and additional raisins if desired.

Bake at 150 degrees Celsius for 50 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
