Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop, then add it to the mashed bananas.
Mix in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the Greek yogurt until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
