Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.33 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 whole large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup low sodium chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stove, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the mashed bananas. Combine thoroughly.

Step 4

Mix the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the banana and butter mixture until it's well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid over-mixing.

Step 7

Fold in the low sodium chocolate chips and Greek yogurt until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your low sodium chocolate chip banana bread as a delicious snack or breakfast treat.
