Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups ripe mashed banana (from 3-4 medium bananas), measured 380g
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 100g
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100g
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 112g
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt (sour cream also works) 120g
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour or 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour 172g
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips + extra for topping 140g

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prepare Pan:

    Heat oven to 325°F (165°C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:

    In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt with a whisk; set aside.

  • Cream Butter and Sugars:

    In another bowl, beat melted butter and sugars together until a paste forms, about 1-2 minutes with vigorous whisking or an electric mixer using paddle attachment.

  • Combine Wet Ingredients:

    Add mashed bananas, then eggs, yogurt, and vanilla; stir until blended.

  • Fold in Dry and Chips:

    Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

  • Transfer Batter to Pan:

    Transfer batter to prepared pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle extra chips if desired.

  • Bake and Cool Loaf:

    Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted yields a few moist crumbs. Cool fully in pan on a wire rack before unmolding. Keep in an airtight container at room temperature.
