This recipe uses Greek yogurt to create an incredibly moist and tender banana bread while adding a boost of protein. It is an easy, from-scratch recipe perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 very ripe, mashed bananas (about 1 1/2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. Add the mashed bananas and mix until incorporated.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas; the browner the peel, the sweeter and moister your bread will be.
  • For extra moisture, you can substitute 1/4 cup of the butter with 1/4 cup of neutral oil, though this recipe is designed to be moist without extra oil.
  • If the top browns too quickly during baking, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes.
