Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 425kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups (375g) plain/all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150g) light brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups (360g) Greek-style yogurt
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large ripe bananas mashed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line an 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Toss in the chocolate chips. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until combined. Add the yogurt, oil, vanilla, and banana, and whisk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients in thirds and fold in until just combined - do not overmix. The mixture will be thick and somewhat lumpy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread out evenly.
- Bake for about 60 - 80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover loosely with aluminium foil halfway through baking to prevent the bread from browning too much.
- Leave to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
