  • Mash your bananas in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of stand mixer, or a large bowl if using a handheld mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until lighter in color and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until combined, scraping down the bottom and sides of the bowl if necessary.
  • Add the yogurt and mashed banana and beat on medium speed until combined. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until a batter forms. Fold in the chocolate chips until fully incorporated into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and top with more chocolate chips. Bake for 50-60 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking the loaf at 45 minutes (all ovens differ) and check every 5 minutes thereafter.
