Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter ½ cup
  • 1 ½ cups white cane sugar
  • 3 mashed bananas ~ 1 ½ cups
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup chocolate chips and/or pecans
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease (1) 9 x 5 loaf pan (or (2) 8 x 4 loaf pans).
  2. Beat sugar and room temperature butter together until combined.
  3. Add eggs, mashed bananas, butter, greek yogurt, and vanilla in the mixing bowl. Beat together until fluffy.
  4. Pour in all dry ingredients (flour, baking soda & powder, pinch of salt, ground cinnamon) besides the chocolate chips into the bowl and mix together.
  5. Once the batter is consistent, fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into greased 8 x 4 loaf pan - top with more chocolate chips if desired.
  7. Bake for 50 minutes or slightly under until toothpick comes out clean. Note: cooking time will vary if baking (2) 8x4 loaf pans. Use the toothpick method to determine doneness.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite cup of tea/milk/coffee or just inhale by the slice.

Notes

  • To make muffins instead, simply divide the batter evenly in muffin tins and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs and no wet batter.
  • Store on the counter or in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
