Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.33 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup low sodium chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stove, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the mashed bananas. Combine thoroughly.
Mix the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the banana and butter mixture until it's well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid over-mixing.
Fold in the low sodium chocolate chips and Greek yogurt until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your low sodium chocolate chip banana bread as a delicious snack or breakfast treat.
