  Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, and bananas. Mix thouroughly.
  In a seperate bowl, combine flour, soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to creamed mixture and mix well. Divide batter in half. Add the cocoa to one portion of the batter, and spread that portion on the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Spoon the remaining batter on top, swirling gently with a butter knife, and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Bake 350 deg. for 30 mins or until fork or toothpick comes out clean. Cool & cut. FYI-The riper the bananas the better it is even if its black.
