Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 120 grams plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 60 grams chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a standard 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl using a fork until mostly smooth.

Step 3

Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two batches, gently folding them together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the Greek yogurt or sour cream to create a smooth batter. If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
