Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas, mashed (approx. 1.5 cups)
  • 1.5 cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs , room temperature
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract; whisk until the mixture is uniform.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined, ensuring no dry flour pockets remain while avoiding over-mixing.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
