Ingredients

For the Batter

3 ripe bananas The riper, the better; overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture.
1 cup Greek yogurt This ingredient elevates the bread’s moistness and adds a protein kick.
½ cup sugar Balances the moisture and offers the right amount of sweetness.
½ cup brown sugar Adds depth and a subtle caramel flavor.
⅓ cup melted butter Ensures a rich flavor and helps achieve that perfect crumb texture.
2 large eggs Binds the ingredients and adds richness.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses a warm, aromatic note.

For the Dry Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour Provides structure.
1 teaspoon baking soda Helps the bread rise.
¼ teaspoon baking powder Works alongside the baking soda for extra lift.
¼ teaspoon salt Enhances flavors.

Optional Add-Ins

½ cup walnuts Adds crunch and flavor.
½ cup chocolate chips An irresistible addition!

Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
Add in the Greek yogurt, sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
If desired, fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf. Check for doneness with a toothpick, and cool the bread in the pan to prevent breaking.
