Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Add the melted butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until the flour is fully incorporated. Avoid over-mixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring the bars to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, cut the banana bars into squares and serve. Enjoy!
