Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (chopped nuts, chocolate chips, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly 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.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using optional mix-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Enjoy!
