Banana Bread With Chocolate Chips and Chocolate Glaze

• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or 1/2 cup vegetable oil), plus more for the pan
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest (optional)
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

1. Make the banana bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-inch mini loaf pans.
2. Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.
3. Add the chocolate chips.
4. Whisk the eggs, melted butter, yogurt, vanilla and orange zest (if using) in a medium bowl.
5. Stir in the mashed banana.
6. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
7. Spread the batter in the prepared pan(s).
8. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes for a standard loaf or 35 to 40 minutes for mini loaves.
9. Cool 30 minutes in the pan(s) on a rack, then turn out onto the rack to cool completely.
10. Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, milk, vanilla and salt in a bowl.
11. Pour over the cooled banana bread and let set, 15 to 20 minutes.
