Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 2 large egg whites
- 120 ml plain non-fat yogurt
- 60 ml honey
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 240 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the egg whites, non-fat yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the banana loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the banana loaf warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
