HEALTHY BANANA BREAD
Steps:
- Place the rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Mash the bananas in the bottom of a large bowl until mostly smooth.
- Whisk in the egg, then the yogurt and oil.
- Whisk in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, and salt over the top, then stir until combined.
- Gently stir in the flour until barely combined, then fold in any mix-ins.
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check at the 35-minute mark and tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly at the corners. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and place on rack to finish cooling completely (for neat slicing), or enjoy warm and don't worry if the slices are messy.

Steps:
- Add the bananas, eggs, milk, oil, sweetener, oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to a blender in that order. (Adding the wet ingredients first will allow the blender to easily blend the batter.)
- Blend until smooth, stopping and scraping down the blender if needed.
- When the batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan then transfer to the oven.
- Bake the banana bread for 1 hour and 20 minutes, covering with foil after 30 minutes if the bread is browning too fast.
- The banana bread is ready when it is golden brown and risen and firm to the touch. A skewer inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
- Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes in the pan before removing and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.

HEALTHIER BANANA BANANA BREAD
This recipe was really yummy to start with but I was looking for something a little healthier so I replaced some butter with non-fat yogurt and I eliminated the salt. It is super moist and tastes great.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. If you don't have any ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will result in a thicker, denser banana bread.
- Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help it to hold together better.
