Ingredients:

  • 340 g overripe bananas, mashed
  • 115 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 150 g light brown sugar, packed
  • 60 g Greek yogurt
  • 5 ml pure vanilla extract
  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 5 g baking soda
  • 3 g salt
  • 2 g ground cinnamon
  • 60 g chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 340 g of bananas until smooth. Stir in 115 g of melted butter, 150 g of brown sugar, 60 g of Greek yogurt, and 5 ml of vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is velvety and the sugar has mostly dissolved.
  3. Sift 250 g of all-purpose flour, 5 g of baking soda, 3 g of salt, and 2 g of cinnamon directly into the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until no more streaks of dry flour are visible. If using, fold in 60 g of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  5. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes to allow the structure to set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
