This is our family’s favorite banana bread recipe of all time! This bread is so moist it practically melts in your mouth. I have some picky eaters who normally don’t eat banana bread but they will come running to the kitchen for this stuff. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the recipe calls for chocolate chips. You do not have to add chocolate chips but why wouldn’t you? Unless you don’t like chocolate….in which case, well, good for you-maybe?
We usually double this recipe and add chopped walnuts to the second loaf for those of us in the house with more mature tastes.
My oldest son made this today. He is trying to blow my diet!
Here you go:
1 cup wheat flour
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup softened butter
1 c sugar (or 3/4 cup honey)
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1 c mashed overripe banana (about 3 bananas)
1/2 c plain yogurt
1 cup chocolate chips (we like dark chocolate!)
Heat oven to 350. Use butter to grease and then flour a bread pan. Sift flour, powder, soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar or honey, then add eggs and vanilla and blend. In a third bowl, mix the banana and yogurt together. Alternate pouring the dry mixture and the banana mixture into the cream mixture, 1/3 at a time, until well blended. Fold in the chips. Bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes on wire rack.

You are making me hungry!
i am too tired to make this. will you please send me some?
Can’t wait to try this one!
This is not going to help me lose weight. Question, can you buy unbleached white flour at regular grocery stores? If it says “enriched” on the package does that mean it’s been bleached. I need guidance my mighty food guru!
“Unbleached” is the word you are looking for and usually it is right there on the shelf next to the bleached white flour at any grocery store.
