Easy Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Description
Easy Chocolate Chip Banana Bread relies on ripe mashed bananas and creamed butter and sugar to provide moisture and sweetness. Eggs and Greek yogurt add richness and tenderness, while vanilla extract enhances aroma. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, which leaven and season the bread evenly. Chocolate chips are folded in last to disperse bursts of chocolate throughout the loaf.
After mixing, the batter is poured into greased loaf pans and baked until a toothpick comes out clean, yielding a golden crust and moist interior. The bread slices well and holds its shape.
Serve the banana bread warm or at room temperature with tea, coffee, or milk. It can be made into muffins by adjusting baking time. Store leftovers on the counter or refrigerated for up to four days, or freeze for longer storage.
