Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 overripe bananas (about 1 cup, mashed)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 1/3 cups gluten-free flour

Additional

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a bread pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the banana bread after baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, creating the wet base for the bread.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, thoroughly stir together the baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder, and gluten-free flour to evenly distribute the leavening and spices throughout the flour.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which could make the bread dense.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. For extra chocolate, reserve some chips to sprinkle on top later.
  6. Transfer to Pan and Cover: Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan and smooth the top. If desired, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning during the initial baking stage.
  7. Bake the Banana Bread: Bake covered with foil for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling the bread is fully baked.
  8. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a sugar-free and dairy-free option, consider using Lily’s Chocolate Chips, which are made with natural stevia and real chocolate.
  • Saving some chocolate chips to add on top of the batter before baking enhances the presentation and adds extra chocolate flavor in every bite.
