This moist and flavorful banana bread combines Greek yogurt for added creaminess and tang, making it the perfect comfort treat.

Ingredients

Bananas

  • 3 large ripe bananas (the riper, the better)

Greek yogurt

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain) (provides creaminess and tang)

Sugars

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (reduce for less sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (adds moisture and rich flavor)

Eggs

  • 2 large large eggs (can use egg replacements)

Oil

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (can swap with melted butter)

Flavorings

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (enhances flavor)

Flour

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (can use whole wheat or gluten-free)

Leavening agents

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (leavening agent)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (necessary due to yogurt acidity)

Salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (balances flavors)

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, adds warmth)

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional, adds texture and richness)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, mash bananas and mix with Greek yogurt, sugars, eggs, oil, and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients, then fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  • Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

For added flavor, sprinkle with a little cinnamon on top before baking.
