Our take on the classic banana bread uses equal parts AP and whole wheat flour to add a bit more fibre and nutrients without sacrificing the flavour.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch (21 x 11 cm) loaf pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer. Gradually beat in the sugar to form a smooth mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the mashed bananas, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until just combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips, if using, to the banana mixture; stir just until moist.
Step 4
Spoon batter into the prepared pan. If topping with a banana, slice the banana down its length into two halves and place the pieces on top of the batter.
Step 5
Bake until a wooden pick inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove the loaf from the pan. Cool completely on the wire rack.
