  • Dry ingredients:
  • 1 cup (25 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (57 grams) whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated salt
  • 3 ounces (85 grams) semisweet chocolate, chopped into small, irregular pieces (The largest chunks should be about 1/4 inch.)
  • Wet ingredients:
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (235 grams) mashed overripe bananas (You'll need 2-3 medium bananas.)
  • 1/2 cup (123 grams) plain, whole milk yogurt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and butter and flour an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch (6 cup) loaf pan.

  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.

  3. In a large bowl, lightly beat the egg, then add the rest of the wet ingredients and stir well.

  4. Dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and gently fold with a rubber spatula until the flour mixture is just incorporated.

  5. Do not overmix.

  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

  7. Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then carefully turn out the bread onto a rack.

  8. Cool completely before slicing.
