Ingredients

• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done with a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Enjoy your delicious Banana Nut Bread Cake plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese!
