How to Make Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
I usually make my banana bread in a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan, and mix the ingredients in medium and large mixing bowls.
Follow these steps for a super moist and delicious loaf:
Step 1: Preheat your oven and spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt) in a medium bowl.
Step 3: Melt the butter in your microwave and combine with the sugars (brown and white) until smooth.
Step 4: Add bananas to the wet ingredients and mash until mostly smooth. Some small chunks is ok!
Step 5: Add the eggs, egg whites, yogurt, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture.
Step 5: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in three-quarters of the chocolate chips.
Step 6: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and top with remaining chocolate chips.
Step 7: Bake and enjoy!
