Double Chocolate Banana Bread
This Double Chocolate Banana Bread is dense, rich, and extremely chocolatey without being overly sweet. The mini chocolate chips get wonderfully melty inside.

Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp fresh baking soda
- ¼ tsp table salt
- 2 TB unsweetened dutch cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and position rack at lower middle. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.

- In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and creamy.
- Gently mix in the beaten egg, vanilla, bananas, and yogurt to the butter/sugar mixture until well combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Finally, fold in chocolate chips.

Notes
- You'll need about 3 medium sized bananas for 1 1/2 cups.
- You can substitute yogurt for sour cream, if you'd like.
- I use salted butter for extra flavor, but you can use unsalted.
- Mini chocolate chips melt so nicely into the bread. However, if you'd like bigger chunks of chocolate, use regular sized chocolate chips.
