Ingredients

• 3 pieces Overripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.

Step 4

Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Fold in the Greek yogurt or sour cream to create a moist batter. If desired, gently stir in optional mix-ins like chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
