Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups bananas, mashed (about 4 really ripe bananas)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat the inside of 3 mini loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. (I used loaf pans that were 8x4x3") Alternatively, you can use a bundt pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and eggs and beat into the butter and sugar mixture.
- Next, add the mashed bananas and Greek yogurt. Beat until well incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat until the flour is just mixed into the wet ingredients.
- Add the chocolate chips and pecans. Fold into the batter with a spatula.
- Evenly distribute the batter among the 3 prepared loaf pans. Tap each pan firmly on your counter top to settle the batter into the pan.
- Optional: top each loaf with a few chocolate chips and pecans.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the loaf pan to cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
Notes
Each serving size is a 1 inch slice across the loaf.
