Banana Bread
Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup cane sugar
⅓ cup olive oil
¼ cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup milk
½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instruction:
In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder to ensure the mixture is light and airy.
In a separate large bowl, combine the oil, sugar, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes fluffy.
Mash the bananas and stir them into the wet ingredients, mixing well.
Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix. Gradually add 1/3 cup of milk in 2-tablespoon batches, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the remaining dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the chopped chocolate until evenly combined.
Grease a 9-inch rectangular cake pan with oil or butter using a pastry brush.
Pour the batter into the pan and gently tap it on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and slice it into thin pieces.
