-
Preheat oven to 350.
-
Grease your loaf pan(s).
-
In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter (and yogurt, if using) and sugar until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute between each addition.
-
Add bananas (I don't bother mashing them first), lemon juice, water, and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
-
Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Beat just until almost combined. Pour in chocolate chips and mix very briefly.
-
Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
-
Allow to cool for 20 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely.
