Ingredients
- butter (for greasing the loaf pan)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour (all-purpose )
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (at room temperature, see notes))
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg (preferably at room temperature)
- 2 banana (very ripe, mashed (about 1 cup))
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or regular plain yogurt, or sour cream)
Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate recommended, or milk chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Slice a 1" cube of unsalted butter and use your hands to rub the butter along the whole interior of a loaf pan being sure to coat thoroughly.
- In a medium sized bowl mix the dry ingredients together.
- Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter until light and creamy. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg. Mix for about 30 seconds, or until evenly combined.
- Add in the mashed bananas and vanilla. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Mix in half the dry ingredients mixture. Then mix in the yogurt. Then add in the remaining dry ingredients mixture.
- In a small bowl stir together the chocolate chips and flour. This prevents the chips from falling to the bottom of the loaf when baking. Add to the mixing bowl and stir until evenly combined into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the buttered pan and use a spoon or spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake for approximately 60 minutes. Checking every 5 minutes after 60 minutes of cooking, pierce a toothpick into the center of the bread. When there are little to no crumbs or batter on the toothpick and the bread does not jiggle in the center, it is done.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes to cool. Once cooled shake the pan a few times to loosen the bread. Place a plate or cooling rack on top of the pan to cover the bread. Carefully flip and remove the bread from the pan. Cool another 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- Butter: we recommend unsalted butter but if you only have salted on hand you can use that instead. The butter must be at room temperature or else the batter will not mix together properly. If your butter is straight out of the fridge, place it on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 10 seconds.
- Bananas: the riper the bananas the better! You want them to have lots of dark brown/black spots on them. If they are completely brown that means they are the sweetest. If using frozen bananas, allow them to fully thaw and then thoroughly mash them.
- Yogurt: for best results we recommend Greek yogurt. This gives the banana bread the best texture. You can swap for regular plain yogurt or sour cream for similar results.
- Chocolate Chips: to get the best distribution of chocolate chips in every bite we recommend mini chocolate chips. You can use regular chocolate chips. Semi-sweet chocolate chips adds the best flavor and melty chocolate texture. If you prefer you can use milk chocolate chips.
