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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Immediately pour that browned butter into a large mixing bowl to stop the cooking.
- Whisk the 0.75 cup of light brown sugar into the warm butter until the mixture looks smooth and combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chips across the top.
- Bake for 65 minutes. You are looking for a deep golden top that has a slight crack down the center.
- 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.
