Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 60 grams plain yogurt or sour cream
- 75 grams chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch 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 add it to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition for a smooth batter.
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. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the plain yogurt or sour cream until incorporated. If using walnuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them in as well.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center 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.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your moist and delicious banana bread!
