Every once in a while I get a craving for some warm banana bread. Straight out of the oven. Ideally with pockets of melted chocolate. And I keep trying new recipes to see what different ingredients do for the bread as a whole. Looking for the perfect banana bread. But if I'm really honest, they're all perfectly delicious, especially slathered in butter.
Note: The original recipe did not have pecans, but I added them because yum.

Once all of your wet ingredients are mixed together, fold in the dry ingredients. Then, fold in the chocolate chips and pecans. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread it even. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if you like.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely before removing from the pan. Store at room temperature in an air-tight container.

In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter and sugars until you reach a paste-like consistency. This may take some vigorous whisking for a minute or two. You can either use a whisk or an electric mixer with the paddle attachment. Add in your mashed bananas followed by the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla.
