Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cup (150g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (85g) chocolate chips + extra for topping
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (45g) light brown sugar
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed with a fork
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (canola oil or sunflower oil)
- ⅓ cup (80g) plain Greek yogurt*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), and grease a 9×5 (23×13 cm) loaf pan. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix in the chocolate chips and set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and sugars on medium-high speed, until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla, and beat on low until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and sprinkle the extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover with foil to prevent the top from getting too brown, after 30-40 minutes baking. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes in the loaf pan, before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
* For best results, use full-fat plain yogurt rather than low-fat.
