Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 80 grams shredded coconut
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 60 grams plain yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.
Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix well until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Stir in the shredded coconut, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and plain yogurt or sour cream until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and enjoy your Coconut Chocolate Chip Banana Bread!
