Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 1 piece egg
• 0.33 cup honey
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Add the egg, honey, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until all the wet ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and whole wheat flour.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using optional ingredients like walnuts or dark chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your delicious and healthy banana bread with your favorite spread or as-is!
