Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 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 with a fork until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 6

If using walnuts or dark chocolate chips, fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.

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 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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