Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the banana bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
