Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips or chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly 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.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
If using chocolate chips or walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the banana bread warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
