How to Make Greek Yogurt Banana Bread

Prepare Wet Ingredients
Combine mashed bananas with Greek yogurt and other wet ingredients.
Mix Dry Components
Whisk flour and spices separately for even distribution.
Combine with Care
Gently incorporate wet and dry ingredients for a tender crumb.
Bake to Perfection
Achieve a golden exterior while maintaining moisture inside.
Baking Tips
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
Full-fat Greek yogurt works best for moisture, but non-fat can be used for fewer calories.
For a healthier version, substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
If the top is browning too quickly during baking, tent the loaf with aluminum foil.
For a protein boost, add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds or ground flaxseed to the batter.
