Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the mashed bananas and Greek yogurt until just combined.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until no flour streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the chopped nuts if using.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense or gummy bread. Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and moisture. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent sogginess.
