Ingredients

3 ripe Bananas Brown and Spotty
½ cup Greek Yogurt Full Fat
½ cup Butter Melted
¾ cup Brown Sugar
2 large Eggs
1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Baking Powder
1 ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper. Set that aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the Greek yogurt, melted butter, sugar, and eggs to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter or the bread will be tough. It will not be smooth, just mix until combined.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

A fork will mash the bananas well but you can also use a potato masher for quick work of mashing the bananas.
You can use frozen bananas too if you have them. Just make sure to defrost them and remove any excess liquid before adding it to the banana bread batter.
Allow the bread to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into it.
This is a great recipe to add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a cinnamon swirl into the batter.
