A moist, sweet banana bread packed with chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1½ cups)
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk plain yogurt, Greek yogurt works great
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract, optional, but wonderful
- 1 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet, dark, or milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl combine mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract; whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the yogurt and milk until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For extra moisture, you can substitute half of the milk with additional yogurt. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
