Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 medium Bananas
  • 1/2 cup | 100g Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup | 100g Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup | 110g unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup | 130g Greek Yogurt
  • 1 1/3 Cup | 180g All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 3/4 Cup | 140g mini chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Mash the Ripe Bananas with a fork first. Then Blend them using a electric blender till smooth. Make sure the bananas are over ripe but not stale.
  2. Mix Light brown Sugar and White Sugar with melted and cooled butter with a blender till the sugars are well dissolved.
  3. Mix the Eggs and Vanilla Essence. Beat Well.
  4. Add the Greek Yogurt and Mashed bananas. Mix.
  5. Sift together the dry ingredients the flour, baking soda and salt into the wet ingredients.
  6. Gently Fold in the Chocolate chips into the batter. Using mini chips are better for flavor. I chopped my large chocolate chips as i did not have the mini ones.
  7. Batter is ready to bake! Grease a Loaf tin with few drops of oil and place a parchment paper with long edges for easy pull out.
  8. Even out the top surface with the back of a spoon or a flat spatula. Sprinkle with few chocolate chips.
  9. Bake at 180C for 40-45mins or till a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Let it cool completely before taking it out from the tin. Slight cracks are normal in a loaf cake.
  11. Brush it with some melted butter while still warm.
  12. Slice them and serve hot. I usually microwave them for a few seconds and they become so soft, like freshly baked every time. Bon Appetit!

Notes

This can be made in a round tin as well. Baking time may vary. 
Use overripe bananas that should not be stale for a moist banana cake.
Using mini chocolate chips gives a better texture. But using regular chips also will work.
