Description
This one-bowl chocolate chip banana bread is a moist, flavorful loaf combining ripe bananas, rich chocolate chunks, and a mix of butter, oil, and Greek yogurt for perfect texture. Ideal for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.
Ingredients
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas (2 mashed, 1 sliced)
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks (reserve some for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease and line a 2-lb loaf tin.
- Melt the butter over medium heat and allow it to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oil, caster sugar, brown sugar, eggs, mashed bananas, cooled butter, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Sift in flour, then add bicarbonate of soda and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in most of the chocolate chips or chunks, saving a few for the top.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Top with sliced banana and reserved chocolate chips.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a nutty variation.
- Mix in cinnamon and nutmeg for a spiced twist.
- Use coconut sugar or honey and whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
- Make it vegan by using flax eggs, vegan yogurt, and coconut oil.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
