Equipment

  • 2 large bowls
  • 1 9x5 inch baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups overripe bananas (mashed) 460 grams, 3-4 large bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup sourdough discard
  • 1/4 cup oil avocado oil, coconut oil, or light olive oil
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt I use oikos brand.
  • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips can sub regular chocolate chips if needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 x 5-inch pan and lightly dust it with flour. 
  • First, mash the bananas very well with a fork. You should end up with 2 cups of mashed bananas, about 460 grams. Add the brown sugar and vanilla to the mashed bananas and blend with a hand held mixer.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix well.  Add the sourdough discard to the batter, and mix with the handheld mixer.
  • In a separate large bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well.
  • Slowly add the dry and wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula until incorporated. 
  • Add the yogurt, oil, and miniature chocolate chips to the batter. Use a spatula to mix ingredients together until just combined. Avoid over mixing or your bread will be tough.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan.  Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the bread comes out clean.
  • Let the bread rest for 10 minutes, then remove and let the bread finish cooling on a rack. For best results allow the bread cool completely before eating.

Notes

  • Baking times can vary depending on your oven.  Insert a  skewer into the center of the bread to check for doneness.
  • Sour cream can be substituted for the yogurt. 
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips on the batter a chocolate studded crust!
  • Use ripe bananas. They should be almost completely covered with brown spots. 
  • Do not overmix the dough. I recommend using a spatula when you add the dry ingredients, yogurt, oil, and chocolate chips.
  • This loaf will be golden brown to dark brown in color when finished baking.
