Ingredients
 
 

  • 140 g Butter
  • ½ cups Granulated sugar
  • ½ cups Brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 ½ cups Mashed bananas
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ cups Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups Flour
  • 1 cups Chocolate chip (plus more for the top)

Instructions
 

  • Start by browning the butter. In a medium-sized saucepan add the butter (which has been at room temperature for 20-30 minutes) and melt in on medium heat swirling the saucepan constantly.
  • Once the butter has melted, the butter will start to sizzle up and a layer of foam will cover the entire pan. Once you cant see the butter, remove it from the heat and transfer the brown butter to a big mixing bowl to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Into a big mixing bowl, add the ripe bananas and mash them into a pudding-like consistency with a fork or a potato masher.
  • Add the brown butter, brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, greek yogurt, sugar, Mix with a whisk until the mixture is well combined.
  • Add the eggs and mix with a whisk until well combined.
  • Add the flour and baking soda and mix until almost combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into a parchment paper-lined loaf pan and top the batter with extra chocolate chips! Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the banana bread comes out clean.
  • Let the chocolate chip banana bread cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and yogurt. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist banana bread and not dense and dry banana bread.
Mesure you flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
Use only ripe bananas for this recipe! ripe bananas are more sweet, moist, and easy to mash into a pudding consistency. If you don’t have ripe bananas, bake regular bananas in a 200c (400f) preheated oven for 10 minutes, this will soften the bananas and make them into a ripe banana texture.
