Ingredients
- 240 grams plain or all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 300 grams (2-3) large bananas
- 3 eggs
- 150 grams (1¼ cups) light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 80 (⅓ cup) yoghurt, room temperature
- 120 ml (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 150 grams (¾ cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C Fan/180°C/350°F. Grease and line a 9x5 loaf pan with greaseproof or parchment paper so that the paper hangs over two sides
- Position the rack on the third shelf or in the centre of the oven.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside
- Mash the bananas with a fork.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well incorporated. Then, mix in the mashed bananas, yoghurt, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if you like.
- Bake for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper. Allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use very overripe bananas that are soft and heavily speckled with dark brown spots. Mash them by hand using a fork or a potato masher.
