Moist Banana Chocolate Chip Bread – Delishar

Most banana bread recipes that I’ve tried yields a denser texture. However, this recipe produced a moist, soft, and fluffy banana bread! The secret ingredient used in this recipe is the greek yoghurt. It gives the banana bread it’s moistness. The brown sugar gives it a deeper, richer flavour.

I am simply in love with how the banana topping caramelised itself during the baking process. It took me a lot of self-control not to peel off those caramelised banana slices and stuff my face with it. Those melted chocolate bits inside of the banana bread comes as a pleasant surprise with every bite! The best part about this recipe is that it is a one bowl bake. You don’t even need a mixer for this. Just measure, mix, pour, and bake.

Best Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins – Delishar

There’s always bananas at home, and it’s not always that we consume all of it before it goes overly ripe. The husband and my girls seem to think that bananas with a little spots on it isn’t as appealing. Thank goodness for banana bake recipes, that I get to use my spotted bananas. I always have to remind the husband and my helper not to throw away the spotty bananas, as there have been a couple of times I got disappointed only to find out that my bananas that I’ve been saving for baking was thrown away because it was ‘too ripe’.

I’ve made a lot of banana related recipes for the family and shared it on my blog. Some of my favourite includes Guilt-free Banana Ice-cream, Spongy Honey Banana Cake, and Banana Walnut Yogurt Cake. But this recipe tops the list! Deep banana flavour, caramel notes from the brown sugar, little bits of bittersweet chocolate chips to compliment, and the muffin… the moist moist muffin with tender crumbs! It’ll bring you to a muffin high! lol!

You can also make this recipe healthier by substituting 50% of the flour with wholewheat flour. That means, 96g of wholewheat flour + 96g of plain flour, instead of all plain flour. Use unsweetened applesauce in place of butter to reduce the overall calories, and do use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. 🙂
