Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 120 grams plain yogurt
- 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 210 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, plain yogurt, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop once no streaks of flour remain.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
