Description
A moist and delicious banana bread recipe made with Greek yogurt for added richness and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, salt, flour, and cinnamon (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
- Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
