Banana Loaf with Greek Yogurt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with oil and line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until they reach a smooth consistency with only a few small lumps remaining.
3. Whisk in the brown sugar, oil, yogurt, and vanilla. Stir vigorously until the mixture looks glossy and the sugar has mostly dissolved.
4. Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until no streaks of flour remain.
5. Optional: Fold in chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
