Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Bread
Chocolate chip banana nut bread with overripe bananas, walnuts, chocolate chips, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup for a moist, tender loaf.
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup avocado oil
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 over-ripe medium bananas
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until well blended. Stir in the mashed bananas until well blended. Fold the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Then, fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with more nuts and chocolate chips. Bake for 50–60 minutes, tenting after 40 minutes if needed, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let cool for at least 20 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes
My Top Tip: Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. Ripe bananas are easier to mash into the mixture and add natural sweetness. If your bananas are extra ripe, you can even try decreasing the amount of maple syrup to 1/4 cup.
Storage: Store chocolate chip banana nut bread in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for 4–5 days.
Freezing: Wrap the cooled chocolate chip banana bread in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer-safe bag. It'll last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.
