Ingredients

🍌 3 ripe bananas
🥚 2 eggs
🍬 1/2 cup granulated sugar
🍬 1/2 cup brown sugar
🧈 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
🥄 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
🧂 1 teaspoon baking powder
🧂 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
🧂 1 teaspoon cinnamon
🥣 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
🍫 1 and 1/4 cups chocolate chips (1 cup for inside the batter and 1/4 cup for on top)

Instructions

1- Preheat and Prepare:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line a loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.

2- Mash and Mix:

• In a large mixing bowl, mash the 3 ripe bananas with a fork.
• Crack the eggs into the bowl, then add the plain Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter.
• Whisk all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and well-combined mixture.

3- Dry Ingredients and Fold:

• Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon into the banana mixture.
• Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
• Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

4- Pour and Top:

• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter for an extra chocolatey touch.

5- Bake:

• Place the loaf pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes.
• You'll know it's ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
• If needed, adjust the baking time slightly based on your oven.

6- Cool and Serve:

• Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
• Then, lift it out using the parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for lasting freshness.
