Ingredients:

  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed (approx. 1 ½ cups / 340g)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
  3. Whisk in the melted butter, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until the mixture is velvety and combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a spatula, stopping as soon as no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Fold in 120g (about 3/4 cup) of the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining 50g of chocolate chips across the surface.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or just a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
