Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 2/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the sugar and softened butter at medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. On low speed, add the mashed bananas, milk, Greek yogurt, and eggs, mixing until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  5. With the mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended.
  6. Gently fold in 3/4 of the semisweet, dark, and milk chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into a 9×5 inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray, and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, use very ripe bananas (the more brown spots, the better).
  • Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  • To freeze, wrap the cooled banana bread tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
