Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
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, whisk together the mashed bananas, egg, egg white, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the wet mixture, whisking until fully dissolved.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick but slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the banana bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices plain or lightly toasted, and enjoy!
