Instructions
1
|
Brown the buter in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter foams, then turns golden with brown bits forming at the bottom (about 4–5 minutes). Remove from heat and pour butter in a large bowl and let it cool for 5–10 minutes.
2
|
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
3
|
In a separate bowl whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder.
4
|
Once the brown butter has cooled, in the large bowl, add th brown sugar and whisk together until smooth. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and mashed bananas. Whisk until fully combined.
5
|
Use a spatula and gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined — don’t overmix! Overmixing will cause the banana bread to be dense.
6
|
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a handful for the top of the loaf desired.
7
|
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with reserved chocolate chips and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
8
|
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack, gently removing the parchment paper. Cool completely at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Butter Properly 🧈Cook butter over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, swirling occasionally until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, then cool completely before mixing to prevent cooking the eggs.
- Use Perfectly Ripe Bananas 🍌Choose bananas with brown spots and slightly soft texture—they contain more natural sugars and pectin for maximum moisture and flavor without needing excess added sugar.
- Greek Yogurt Replaces Oil Wisely 🥄The Greek yogurt adds tang and moisture while reducing fat content, but don't over-stir the batter—fold it gently to maintain the bread's tender crumb structure.
- Bloom Your Chocolate Chips 🍫Toss mini chocolate chips in a small amount of flour before folding into batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom and ensure even distribution throughout.
- Test for Doneness Accurately 🎯Insert a toothpick into the center at 50-55 minutes—it should have a few moist crumbs but no wet batter, as the residual heat will continue cooking after removal from the oven.
