• large bowl.
• Mix the butter, sugar, banana, eggs, vanilla extract and chocolate chips in a separate bowl.
• Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine, being careful not to overmix.
• Pour the batter into a non-stick, or lightly greased and floured, 19 x 11 cm (71/2 x 41/2 inch) loaf tin and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the bread is cooked when tested with a skewer.
• Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
• Serve in thick slices with butter.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, mash the bananas coarsely using a fork. They should be fully broken apart, but it's OK if some larger lumpy pieces remain. Whisk in the melted butter, yogurt, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt to combine. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir to combine using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Scrape the sides and base of the bowl well to make sure the mixture is uniformly combined.
• Gently stir in the chocolate until combined, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. If using, sprinkle the surface generously with coarse sugar.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the edges of the loaf start to pull away from the edge of the pan, and a tester inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 60 to 75 minutes. If the top of the loaf is becoming too dark before it's baked through, loosely cover with foil.
• Transfer from the oven to a cooling rack and run a thin knife around the edge of the banana bread to separate it from the pan. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding and cooling completely.
