Step 1

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

Add the melted butter, honey, and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

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.
