Easy Summer Banana Bread ✨☀️🍌

1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips (100 g)
3/4 cup strawberries (100 g)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup melted butter (75 g)
1/4 cup yogurt (60 g)

Notes:
- Bake for about 55 minutes at 350F (176 C)
- Check if the loaf is ready with a toothpick
- Make sure to butter the loaf pan
- Use any other berries if you like

Fluffy Yogurt Cake (No Scale or Measuring cups Needed)

This is one of the easiest Italian cakes you could ever make. It's super soft, citrusy and perfect with a cappuccino or a cup of tea.

The best part? You don't even need a scale or measuring cups. We directly use the yogurt pot itself to measure everything.
