Here’s how to make it:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper
2. Mash the bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
3. Mix the wet ingredients: Stir in the eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Add the dry ingredients: Add the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined – don’t overmix!
5. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and fold into the batter.

6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
