Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cups honey
- 0.33 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 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.
Add the melted butter, honey, and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using walnuts, fold them into the batter now.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
