How to make it
Banana Bread
Preheat oven to 350F and grease 4 mini-loaf pans with non-stick spray.
In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, or in a bowl with egg beaters, whisk together sugar and eggs on high until mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale yellow (~4 minutes).
Turn stand mixer to low speed and drizzle in oil down side of bowl.
In a food processor, or by hand, mash ripe bananas into smooth puree. Add yogurt and vanilla to mix. Whisk into bowl. Scrape down edges of bowl with a spatula.
In a small bowl, sift together dry ingredients.
Add to bowl and remove from stand mixer. Fold ingredients in by hand until mixture is just combined. While thick, the batter should still feel airy and ‘fluffy’.
Divide 50% of batter evenly into prepared pans. Top with chocolate chips, divide remaining batter in pans, and top with remaining chocolate chips desired.
Place in oven for ~7 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the streusel topping.
Streusel Topping
In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt.
Add in oil and vanilla.
When mixture starts forms into small pebbles with some larger chunks and some smaller sandy bits, toss in sprinkles.
Remove banana bread from oven, it will hardly still look mostly like batter.
Divide streusel topping over banana bread. The easiest way is to take a clean hand, grab a handful, squeeze, and then crumble over pans, creating nice large chunks.
Return to oven and bake for an additional ~30-40 minutes (Depending on size of pans). Bread is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean (except maybe for some melted chocolate lol!).
Let Cool.
To remove from pan without tipping over and losing some crumb top, I find it easiest to loosen with a butter knife. Tilt pan slightly, and then use knife to slip under and pull up.
