This no-fail healthy chocolate chip banana bread is moist, delicious, and a total-crowd pleaser. With ingredients like whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, and less added sugar, this healthy banana bread is satisfying and tastes just as indulgent as traditional banana bread, but made much lighter.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 7x11" loaf pan with nonstick spray (or gently wipe sides with softened butter or olive oil).
In a large bowl, mash bananas well. Add brown sugar, Greek yogurt, olive oil, a large egg, and vanilla extract and stir until smooth.
Add dry ingredients (whole wheat flour, baking soda, and cinnamon) and gently, briefly stir until just combined. Gently stir in chocolate chips (reserve a few to garnish the top of the loaf, if desired).
Pour banana bread into the prepared loaf pan and top with reserved chocolate chips.
Bake for one hour, or until a toothpick or butter knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the loaf pan for 5-10 minutes, or until it can easily be handled, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
