Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips

Ingredients:

• • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated.
• Mix in the mashed bananas, plain yogurt (or sour cream), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
• Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
• Once slightly cooled, transfer the banana bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
• Serve slices of chocolate chip banana bread and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
