A delicious homemade banana bread loaf sprinkled generously with chocolate chips. Try this easy and quick and sinfully moist banana bread recipe made with ripe bananas that are sitting right on your kitchen counter.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 loaf pan or line a parchment paper in the pan.
In a large bowl, peel and smash bananas with a fork. Mix butter into the mashed bananas.
Mix in the sugar, egg, yogurt and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in.
Add the flour last, mix well. Then fold in the chocolate chips (save some to top after transferring the batter to the loaf pan).
Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Spread the saved chocolate chips evenly.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Remove the banana bread from the loaf pan on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
