Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pcs ripe bananas
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 50 g brown sugar
- 2 pcs eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 60 g plain yogurt
- 100 g chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) 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. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and add it to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the yogurt for extra moisture, and add chocolate chips or chopped nuts if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness around the 55-minute mark.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
