Ingredients

3 large ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup mini chocolate chips + extra for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mix melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until paste-like.
  4. Add mashed bananas, then whisk in eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix to avoid a dense loaf.
  • For gluten-free, use a 1-to-1 GF baking flour.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
