  @Nielsen-Massey Vanillas
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour @Bob's Red 
  Mill
- 1 tsp (6g) baking soda
- 3/4 tsp (4g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- Optional: 1/2 tsp (1g) cinnamon
- 1 cup (200g) chocolate chips or chopped 
  chocolate of choice (I used semi-sweet 
  chocolate chips) @Nestle Toll House
- Optional: 2 thin strips of cold butter for 
  placing on top of the batter before baking 
  (see instructions below)


For Serving:
- Butter
- Flaky sea salt

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and line a 
standard (9x5") loaf pan with parchment 
paper so some hangs over the sides. Set 
aside.
Start by browning the butter. Add the 1/2 cup 
(113g) of butter to a saucepan over medium-highmedium-
high heat. Allow to melt and brown, while 
stirring continuously (~5-8 minutes). As the 
butter continues to cook, you'll notice that it 
starts to foam up across the surface (after 
about 2 minutes). Stir frequently to prevent 
the milk solids from burning. Continue 
cooking, stirring with a spatula, until the milk 
solids begin to brown (the brown specks at 
the bottom of the pan) and the color starts to 
deepen. Once the brown butter reaches a 
deep golden amber color and smells nutty, 
remove from the heat and immediately pour 
into a large bowl. Set aside to cool slightly 
(about 15-20 minutes).
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 
the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, 
and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
Once the brown butter has slightly cooled, 
add the mashed bananas, brown sugar, Greek 
yogurt (or sour cream), eggs, and vanilla. 
Whisk until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Use a 
wooden spoon or spatula to mix together 
until just combined and there are no flour 
streaks remaining, being careful not to over-mix.over-
mix. The batter will be lumpy!
Then, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour or scoop the batter into the prepared 
loaf pan and spread out evenly. Take a butter 
knife or toothpick, and run it down the center 
of the batter lengthwise. Then if desired, take 
2 thin strips of cold butter and place them in 
the crease that was formed in the center of 
the batter with the butter knife. This will help 
create that 'perfect' classic crack and dome 
top while baking!
If desired, sprinkle a few more chocolate 
chips on top of the batter.
Place the pan on the middle rack of your 
oven. Bake at 350F for 60-65 minutes, until 
golden brown and a toothpick inserted into 
the middle comes out clean or with a few 
moist crumbs. Check the loaf around 50 
minutes. If the top is starting to brown too 
quickly, tent the top with foil for the 
remainder of baking.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan 
for at least 10-15 minutes before transferring 
to a wire cooling rack.
Slice and serve warm with butter and flaky 
sea salt, if desired.
Enjoy!
