Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
  4. Add eggs and mashed bananas: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add the mashed bananas, plain yogurt or sour cream, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  5. Mix in dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Cool: Allow the banana chocolate chip bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  8. Serve: Slice the banana chocolate chip bread and serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as a delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert!
