Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (345g) overripe bananas, mashed smooth
  • 0.5 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 0.75 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 0.25 cup (60g) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp (190g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly or line it with a parchment paper sling for easy removal.
  2. Melt the 0.5 cup of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Watch it closely as it foams and sizzles; whisk it until you see brown bits at the bottom and smell a nutty aroma.
  3. Immediately pour that browned butter into a large mixing bowl to stop the cooking.
  4. Whisk the 0.75 cup of light brown sugar into the warm butter until the mixture looks smooth and combined.
  5. Add the 1.5 cups of mashed bananas, room temperature egg, 0.25 cup of Greek yogurt, and 2 tsp of vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully emulsified and pale.
  6. Using a spatula, gently fold in the 1.5 cups of flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 0.5 tsp sea salt, and 0.25 tsp cinnamon. Stop until you see no more streaks of white flour. Note: Overmixing at this stage will make the bread tough.
  7. Gently stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chips across the top.
  9. Bake for 65 minutes. You are looking for a deep golden top that has a slight crack down the center.
  10. Test with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes until the structure sets before moving to a wire rack.
