easy chocolate chip banana bread 🤎 it came out so fluffy omg recipe: ingredients 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed ½ cup salted butter, browned (113g) ½ cup brown sugar (100g) ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g) 1 large egg, room temp (50g) ¼ cup plain greek yogurt (60g) 1 tbsp vanilla paste (13g) 1¾ cups all-purpose flour (210g) 1 tsp baking powder (4g) ½ tsp baking soda (3g) ½ tsp salt (3g) 2 tsp cinnamon & mini chocolate chips ( measure with your heart ) instructions preheat oven to 375°F and line a loaf pan with parchment. in a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined. in another bowl whisk the mashed bananas and browned butter until combined. add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until smooth. add the egg, greek yogurt, and vanilla and whisk until the batter is smooth. add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently fold until mostly combined with a few streaks of flour remaining. add the mini chocolate chips and fold just until incorporated. avoid overmixing so the loaf stays soft and fluffy. pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. ( i added extra chocolate on top ) bake for 5 minutes at 375°F, then reduce the oven to 350°F and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. let the loaf cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. #chocolatechip #bananabread #Recipe #baking
