Ingredients
- 3–4 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup butter, browned and slightly cooled
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour, plus 2–3 tablespoons if needed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
1. Brown the Butter
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in the honey, browned butter, eggs, vanilla, and Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
If your bananas are especially large and the batter seems thin, add an extra 2–3 tablespoons of flour.
4. Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Prepare the Pan
Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips over the top for a bakery-style finish.
6. Bake
Bake at 350°F for 55–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
