Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and grease a 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly, then mix it into the mashed bananas.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Stir until well-combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the plain Greek yogurt or sour cream to add moisture and richness to the batter.
If using optional ingredients like chopped nuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your 100 Yummy Banana Bread as is, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese!
