Ingredients:

  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed (approx. 1 cup / 225g)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (60g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and Greek yogurt until the batter is a uniform, creamy tan color.
  3. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt directly into the wet mixture. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together until no more white flour streaks are visible. Fold in chocolate chips or walnuts.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the top is deep mahogany brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
