Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

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

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 8

Fold in the Greek yogurt or sour cream, which adds extra moisture to the bread.

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

Step 11

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