Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 teaspoons blue spirulina powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and blue spirulina powder until evenly mixed.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the Greek yogurt or sour cream to add moisture and creaminess to the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Optional: Serve with a spread of butter or a drizzle of honey for added indulgence.
