Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 3/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3 VERY ripe Bananas, about 1 1/2 cups
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream, or Greek Yogurt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
  • 6 Tbsp Butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 23 Tbsp Sparkling Sugar, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In one mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In the other bowl, whisk together the eggs, bananas, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk in the melted butter until mixed in evenly.

Create a well in the flour, and add in wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula gently fold the two sets of ingredients together until the two are just combined, and a couple of small flour streaks remain. Let the mixture set for a couple of minutes and move to the next step.

Spray a standard size loaf pan with non stick spray. Line the bottom and two sides with parchment paper, creating a cradle of sorts. Spray the paper again with non-stick spray.

Just prior to adding the batter into the loaf pan, gently mix in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake on the middle rack for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then using the parchment cradle, lift the loaf out of the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve, and devour.
