Ingredients

• 4 medium ripe bananas
• 1 cup (melted) unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 2 whole large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas well using a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk everything together until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) until the batter is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
