Ingredients
  

  • 140 g Butter
  • 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 0.5 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1.5 cups Mashed Bananas
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1.5 cups Flour
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Extra Chocolate Chips (for the top)

Instructions
 

  • Brown the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, swirling constantly until it foams and releases a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Mash your ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Add the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and Greek yogurt to the bowl, mixing until well combined.
  • Whisk in the eggs until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  • Gradually incorporate the flour and baking soda into the bowl, mixing until almost combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips gently to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking with a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when done.
  • Allow the loaf to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and enjoying.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture.
  • Spoon flour into measuring cup to avoid density.
  • Watch butter closely when browning, and let your bread cool completely to improve slicing.
