Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the large egg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and plain low-fat yogurt to the mashed bananas and mix well until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the banana bread comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your low-fat banana bread with chocolate chips once it has cooled. Enjoy!
