INGREDIENTS FOR CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD
- 1 1/2 cups (380g) ripe, mashed bananas (about 3-4 medium bananas)
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (110g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (130g) 2% Greek yogurt (sour cream can also be used)
- 1 1/3 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (140g) mini chocolate chips (plus a handful for topping)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan, lining it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter with the brown and granulated sugars until you achieve a paste-like consistency. This may take a minute or two of vigorous whisking, either by hand or with an electric mixer using the paddle attachment.
- Add the mashed bananas, followed by the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture until just incorporated, then add the chocolate chips and fold them in as well.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. If desired, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before removing. Store it at room temperature in an airtight container.
