Very Best Banana Bread

I name this banana bread with confidence.

While dating, my husband told me he didn’t care for banana bread. I went on a mission to change his mind and this is the recipe that made my husband a banana bread lover!

Very Best Banana Bread

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 large ripe bananas, mashed

1 stick butter, melted

1 cup sugar

1 large egg + 1 egg yolk

1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350º. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. 

In another large bowl, mix together mashed banana, butter, sugar, egg and egg yolk, green yogurt, and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined. 

Fold in chocolate chips (reserving a few for the top) and transfer to prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. 

Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool 10 minutes in pan, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
