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.

Custard Cream

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 large eggs

1/3 cup melted butter or oil

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.

Add Greek yogurt, eggs, melted butter or oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Fold in walnuts and/or chocolate chips if using.

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and serve. Store leftover bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
