Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 120 grams plain yogurt
- 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 210 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, plain yogurt, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop once no streaks of flour remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
