Instructions
Brown the butter
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Keep swirling until it turns golden brown with nutty aroma (5–7 mins).
- Immediately transfer to a heatproof bowl to stop cooking. Let cool slightly.
Prep oven & pan
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Grease and line a large deep loaf pan (10×5 or 12×5) with parchment.
- If using a standard 9×5 pan → only fill ¾ full and use extra batter for muffins.
Make the batter
- In a big bowl, mash bananas. Whisk in browned butter, vanilla, honey, and coconut sugar until glossy.
- Add eggs one at a time. Stir in Greek yogurt or sour cream.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Fold in 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips (reserve the rest).
Bake the mega loaf
- Pour batter into pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle on remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake 90–105 minutes. Check at 70 mins, then every 10–15.
- If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil.
- Done when a toothpick in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Cool + store
- Let rest in the pan 20 mins, then carefully lift out to cool fully on a rack.
- Wrap tightly in parchment, then foil to keep it soft for 4–5 days.
- Enjoy 🙂
