Description

A lusciously moist banana bread loaded with melty chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast, dessert, or any time in between. This recipe uses ripe bananas, yogurt or sour cream, and a buttery base to deliver an indulgent, cake-like crumb with every slice.

Ingredients

3 to 4 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup yogurt or sour cream

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 to 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth with some small lumps.
Add melted butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and yogurt/sour cream. Whisk to combine.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth the top and add reserved chips.
Bake 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully before slicing.
