Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups ripe mashed banana (about 3 to 4 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until thick and smooth.
  4. Add the mashed bananas and mix until fully combined.
  5. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  9. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before removing and slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread.
  • Store leftovers at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freeze slices for longer storage, and reheat in the microwave before serving.
