Make this easy Greek yogurt banana bread for a moist, tender loaf that uses yogurt instead of butter, adding protein to this classic snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until the flour streaks almost disappear. Do not overmix the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or chopped walnuts to the batter before baking.
  • If your bananas are not very ripe, you can bake them on a baking sheet at 300°F for 15 minutes to speed up the ripening process.
  • This recipe is a healthy twist on classics, offering a high protein banana bread option.
