Ingredients
Scale
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash bananas and mix in Greek yogurt, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use extra ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
Swap brown sugar for maple syrup or honey for a different sweetness profile.
This bread freezes well—wrap tightly and store for up to 3 months.
