Description
Super moist chocolate chip banana bread packed with ripe bananas, tangy Greek yogurt, and melty chocolate chips. One bowl, no mixer needed!
Ingredients
1½ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3–4 medium)
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1⅓ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup mini chocolate chips + extra for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment.
2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter with sugars until thick and combined.
4. Stir in mashed bananas, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.
5. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients gently—do not overmix.
6. Stir in mini chocolate chips and pour batter into pan.
7. Top with extra chocolate chips and bake 60–75 minutes.
8. Check with a toothpick for moist crumbs, then cool before slicing.
Notes
Measure mashed bananas accurately; top off with applesauce if needed.
Don’t overmix—this keeps the loaf light and tender.
Greek yogurt adds moisture; plain yogurt or sour cream works too.
Let loaf cool before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Freezes well for up to 3 months. Reheat in toaster or microwave.
