Indulge in this moist and fluffy one-bowl banana bread recipe loaded with chocolate chips. Simple to make and irresistibly delicious!
Ingredients:
- 250g All-Purpose Flour
- 220g Light Brown Sugar
- 1.5 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon Powder
- 240g Unsweetened Plain Yogurt (e.g., almond yogurt or your choice)
- 230g Ripe Bananas, mashed (about 2 bananas)
- 120ml Vegetable Oil (or any flavorless oil)
- 80g Dark Chocolate Chips
Method:
- Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 370°F (188°C).
- Lightly grease an 8-inch loaf pan and line it with baking paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, mashed bananas, oil, and light brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add Dry Ingredients:
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder to the wet mixture. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are distributed evenly.
- Baking:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Using a knife, create a shallow slit (about 1/4 inch deep) down the center of the batter. This will help the bread rise evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Depending on your oven, you might need to bake a bit longer. Check the bread's doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Cooling:
- Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the loaf pan for about 30 minutes.
- After that, transfer the loaf to a cooling rack and let it cool completely.
Storage Tip: For the freshest taste, store the banana bread in an airtight container or wrap it in plastic wrap.
